Ignore - chick is fine now. Can someone show me how to delete a thread?!

Hi all,

One of my chicks externally pipped yesterday but still had made no movement after 24 hours. I followed the guide in the assisted hatching section and gently removed some of the shell and outer membrane over the air cell, then used some coconut oil and put her back in the incubator.
She's now flopped half in half out of the egg shell, but is laying down, eyes closed and shivering - I'm assuming she needs warming up but don't know what to do?
I can't put her in the brooder as she is obviously still damp.

Thanks

It should stay in the incubator until fully out of the shell and until it’s fluffed up and no longer wet
