Not absorbing yolk ...with blood & clear stuff attached??

After watching the others hatch I think it was just the bottom part of the egg. Everyone seemed to have it but it fell off immediately after hatching. This one kind of just stuck there and seemed to pull more out than absorb it. There was one vein looking thing hanging from there. I tied it off with a thread and cut the excess hanging stuff. I didn’t want to intervene but it was pulling more out and I figured this was the only way to save it. Luckily there was never blood, or bleeding....just this tube thing hanging after I cut off the excess. The thread eventually fell off and the vein looking thing turned brownish gray and dried up. Its still there, smaller than the size of a pea but its hard to see since its so fluffy now. The duck appears to be just fine with it!
 
the trouble with being new to hatching is the anticipation of what to do
most generally just wait and it will turn out good
I have seen chicks like this and it will get pulled of either by the duck or by your self when taking them out of the incubator
you must have done something right the ducks are hatching
so have patience and wait till they are all hatched
