Umbilical cord still attached to yolk!!! HELP (Urgent)

[Cloud]

Greetings

My chick hatched and was still tied to the yolk in the egg. He was dragging the egg shell around and the string (umbilical cord) finally snapped. What should I do?! Should I give him immediate access to external food and water? I don't want to open the incubator because another chick is making its way to hatching, his beak and some of his body are exposed so I don't want to try him out!\

Thank you for your time

Did you actually see yolk in the egg? I've had chicks with a cord or membrane or something drag a shell half around a while, then it just breaks off and they're fine. They've absorbed the yolk and don't need to eat or drink for at least a day or so. I just assumed it's a normal thing. I think if the yolk wasn't absorbed there's not much you can do for it.

Thanks for the welcome .

I am not entirely sure if it was the yolk, it was a gooyey yellow sack, any ideas?

It looked similar He is better now, we were able to get him to the brooder so it's up to him to eat and drink and all the other stuff
