Something hanging from my 2 day old chicks bottom

Hi i recieved my chicks today and one of them has this little brown looking string thing hanging from its bottom and it is attached and will not come off what could it be

It is most likely a vein that was attached to the membranes inside of the egg shell... kind of like an umbilical cord. It should come off in a few days, or you can snip it off with a pair of scissors.

Mine had that too. Looks like a thread? I left it alone and it fell off within the first week.
