one of our chicks has hatched with some unabsorbed yolk, otherwise he seems really healthy and alert. I’ve put him back in his egg and in a cup as I’ve taken a photo of to try encourage him to absorb the rest of it but he keeps trying to jump out! Please help

It looks like you're doing the right thing - a coffee cup may help him not move around as much as a bowl. Keep the area extremely clean as yolk sac infection is a risk at this point. It should absorb in a little bit if not damaged. Keep the incubator dark too as the light makes them more active.
