First hatch!!🥳

It needs straw or something to grip, otherwise it'll get splayed leg. It really needs something to grip.

Right. Tile isn't good. In a pinch, papertowels work very well.

I had shavings in there then i took them out because it was getting stuck to her egg sac and the green goey stuff made it worse.

whats the green stuff and should i wipe it off of her?

That looks odd. Is she moving okay? Make sure her brooder is a good temperature.

Pictures/videos please.
(S)he might be weak, dehydrated, or sick. Make sure she has water and make sure her temperature is correct (90 F- 95 F or so). If (s)he doesn't have a heat lamp or heat source, (s)he's probably too cold.
Make sure (s)he's drinking water - dip the beak slightly into the water, and it will learn to drink.

Please take pictures of the wings, body, and legs. Its wing might also be injured. If and when you handle the chick, you must be extremely careful.

Also please take pictures or videos of your brooder set up.

You're welcome.
Electrolytes are a good idea. If she's shivering and/or right under/near the heat source, she's cold. If she's far away from the heat source, she might be too hot. Adjust the temperature according to the way she is responding to the heat.
