First time hatching chicks

Ok the first one hatched but something is hanging from its vent?? Like a blob of something and a string connecting to the egg.

It has got up and is knocking the other eggs over everywhere….

The string is still connected to the egg…

That's the 'umbilical cord' that's still connected to the yolk sac and it should dry up and fall off.

Can you post a picture?

Knocking around the eggs is very common. You may start hearing lots of peeping starting now also if you listen close as the new chick that's hatched will "cheer on the others" to come out.
 
A quick Google to help...
