I have never had this happen before, but this poor chick struggled for over 24 hours to hatch and when it did it still had a little something protruding from the vent area. I am keeping it in the incubator because of some posts I read on here. Is there anything else I should be doing, or does it just need time and/or luck?

*Edit to add - I ended up having others hatch with partially unabsorbed yolk sacks, I think my humidity was too high. I adjusted my humidity up after my first chick to pip died from shrink wrapping.

I don't know if it's part of the yolk sack or not but I've had a couple hatch like that and it falls off after the chick dries a bit. I don't think you need to worry. btw...Congrats!
