Hatching was going great with multiple births until yesterday at 4pm a chick was pipping and tonight at 9pm seemed stuck in the shell and not making further progress (I believe from shrink-wrap) so I assisted the chick after researching how and now the chick has what looks like a thick cord trailing from its umbilical cord. It bled for a couple minutes but has stopped. Chick is still moving around and peeping off and on but Im worried he/she is hurting or wont make it.
Thanks for all your help and guidance so far!

Hens go broody when you don’t want them to… and won’t go broody when you do.
