Umbilical cord tied around leg after unassisted hatch, but pulled it's insides before I noticed it...help!

That looks like the same problem my rooster went through. I just kept an eye on him, and it fell off after a few weeks, and he’s doing alright now, so I would just keep an eye out for your little baby for now.

Okay. It has went in significantly from when it first happened. But it was concerning to see this morning that it hadn't received completely and was drying. I had read that people sometimes push it all back in and it freaked me out bc I probably could of done that while it was wet and had just happened but bc so much time had passed and it was drying I felt like it might do harm to do that. I couldn't get my camera to focus up close but you can see different colors kind of inside whatever all that is hanging out.bkind of similar to what is left over from hatching with the yellow/whitish albumin or whatever that is. Glad to hear that your rooster recovered from this! Makes me feel a lot better. Had a very rough hatch the last go round and was very grateful this one went better.

Sorry. Tried to post these with the original message but they got cut out somehow

That's okay!
The yolk is fairly small so I would expect that to be absorbed in half a day to a day or so. He probably wont have much interest in food in that time.
The biggest threat is probably infection, I'm not an expert, so someone else may have better comments on how it is looking currently, I'm not too sure about the cord around the leg situation, either.
Keep everything soft for him, puppy training pads may work well if he's already in the brooder. Don't put him with the others until he's done absorbing, make sure everything is clean and dry. Keep us updated!

Are we sure it's yolk and not actually intestines? That's what I'm afraid of. That he pulled something out that shouldn't be when he it was learning to walk and still tied to his leg....

I honestly don't know if something else is/was out or not, but there is yolk, that is the round mass attached to his tummy.

There is no way to look at the naval area really bc this is all Infront of it. He pulled on it when the cord was tied around his leg. And this is what's left hanging. I'm scared to inspect it further for fear I could pull more out or injure it trying to look. If that makes sense.

don't worry, the photos are okay, and when I said naval area I just meant his tummy/yolk area
