I work third shift and came home to find the third egg that had pipped had hatched but she has parts coming out of her navel!! It looks like the white part that was left in the other two eggs when they hatched and some bloody veining. I am not sure what or even how to describe it but things dont look like they've closed up and it's insides are coming out! HELP! I dont know what to do!

Ok, she is peeping but not loudly and moving around then resting like a normal chick I guess but these are the first chickens I have ever had.. Thanks for all the quick replies! I guess I will just keep a close eye on her and see what happens!
Being a chicken mom is so stressful! I managed to stay pretty calm during the whole incubation and now I am making up for it! lol.
Thanks again everyone!
