Is she staying still? If she starts trying to wander around she could really damage herself, if the egg yolk gets punctured! Also the exposed yolk can quickly get infected turning into mushy chick disease. I posted this on another thread similar to your situation:

i also have treated with honey and or neosporin on the navel,

if its bad,(very unabsorbed yolk) i treat by applying honey, (if it is dirty dabbing with witch hazel first) and then with vet wrap, the stretchy self sticking bandaid stuff you get at walmart in the pet or human aisles, if its medium bad you can just wrap th belly and over the back to support the yolk.
If its worse than that by tightly bundling the chick back into an egg position for 3-4 hours, and putting into a small container so she cannot roll around and keeping in the corner of the incubator until it has absorbed enough to be loose. I have even used a toe of a panty hose to tie a chick up in before...
If it absorbs back in then you will set it free. If it has to be confined for longer than 6 hours then:
It may start needing more support by giving a couple drops of chick vitamins mixed with a drop of molasses, in water, by dropper, very very carefully, it is so easy to drown a chick! Giving it two or 3 drops every 1 to 2 hours, And checking on it every 4 hours to see if it can be free yet or not. Sometimes i will feed it a little egg yolk with tweezers placed on is tongue and massaging their throat, you must be very careful if you attempt to manually feed and water chicks as they are easy to drown or smother on the food.
And most chicks like this will either not make it, or can develop other problems like curled toes and splayed legs.


If it does get infected here is more info:

I hope this helps.
