This chick just hatched about 20 minutes ago. The other chicks are pecking at it when they are close.
 
looks like an umbilical cord and should ideally dry out and fall off
 
Welcome to BYC
Looks like cord, and if mine, I would cut off the excess.
 
X2 on the umbilical, you can trim off the excess but don't cut it to close to the navel.
 
Thank you for your help! It likely was the umbilical cord. It dried up quickly and fell off on its own. No issues.
