    Need Help, Guidance, Advice on this egg hatching

    Chicks will do that after hatching because its exhausting for them. You can keep it in the incubator although its not what I'd recommend. If you have a place with the other chicks in it, you can put that one in with it. Just make sure it has food and water, bedding, and a heat lamp.
