I don't know what to do!

I need help, I just hatched a chick this morning and it's not standing straight or moving much. it's been like that for the past 4 hours (i think) I just guessed that because the umbilical cord was still on it was still getting nutrients. I had to take the egg away from the hen since she started pushing him away and after I found it hatching some feet away, I had to take it and put it under the only warming lamp i have. I had another one hatched all the way already but it just died due to the injury it had from its mom pecking its head. I hope someone understands my problem and helps me out. thank you for your time.

...but it just died due to the injury it had from its mom pecking its head.

That doesn’t sound good for any of the others that may hatch.

4 hours from hatch is still early...they could be resting. I would just keep an eye on them and keep them warm. And if the broody killed one of the chicks, I would keep them away. If there are more eggs and you have an incubator I'd set it up and put them in to finish hatching.
