Hatchling can't stand???

Cup didn't work, I used a paper one and it kept knocking it over. It doesn't seem like a traction issue more like a muscle tone issue/neurological problem. The navel is still bleeding a tiny bit but doesn't look bad.
 
Line a coffee or tea cup with a paper towel, put the chick in it and put her back in the bator.
Wait and see how she does. Hatching is exhausting.
Is it ok for the top of the cup to be touching the top of the incubator?

No. You want the chick to be able to move freely in the cup and push herself up to help strengthen the legs.

What's your brooder like? Can you set her up in the brooder where she can be warm, but not get picked at by the others?
 
Can anyone look at the pic and tell me if I am going to suffocate the chick

There are 4 others in the brooder and I only have one heat plate. Would laying paper towels down help? Would a ramekin dish work?
