It needs some where comfortable to sit

Put the chick in a cup or small bowl lined with a soft towel and leave in the bator hopefully as the day goes by the yolk will continue to absorb.
If you take a paper towel damp with warm water and gently wipe the babys feathers, this will help it fluff up as the feathers look like they are stuck down
