Chick dragging membrain

I had a few of my eggs start to hatch. I at first had humidity issue, that was solved. One chick got too dry, I added water to the membrane and it has since hatched is walking around doing great. I have another one almost out of the egg. Now, I have two others. One hatched an hour and a half ago. That one seems to be doing ok, drying fine, walking around, etc. But it has a piece of membrane it is dragging behind it. All yoke is absorbed, it is connected by what looks like two small bloo vessels to this little piece of membrane. Then there is another one that has done the same thing, but it just hatched and pulled out some of the membrane with it like the other one. Anyone heard of this? Do I just leave it?



The chick that had just hatched that was still really wet just kicked its legs out and that membrane came off. It bleed for a minute. It clotted and stopped pretty fast and it has moved about an inch away and is laying there resting now. I do not see anymore bleeding from it. But what about the one walking around? Will it take care of it too like this one?

I would just leacve it and it should come off on its own, like an umbilical cord.

What hatched so far ?

Still just those four JG. One more pipped this morning, but humidity is correct so it should just go on its own. I am starting to worry I wont have any of my marans hatch

Oh my goodness, this has been quite the experience for you, and the rest of us. I am happy you at least have a few chicks, but very disapointed for you. I am sorry you have had to go threw all of this.

I am just glad I now have four chicks that seem to be doing good and even trying to eat some. I have another JG piping, but no marans seem to have made it.

I candeled all the eggs before I put them in the incubator. They were all moving and showing signs of life. I cant imagine that just having a lower humidty would have caused all except five to die. I am waiting a few more days though cause I put in 5 other eggs a few days later. They should be hatching tomorrow. I will post pictures of them soon under the photo area.
