I just found a chick that hatched yesterday to be keeping her eye closed . she can open it but prefers to keep it closed I think she has some membrane.. we had a couple chicks I assisted with shrink wrapping issues yesterday. She was not one of them. Suggestions? Warm water drops. I still have some eggs to hatch she is in a still air incubator with a few chicks.
 
Sounds like the chick is low on energy. I give them a few drops of sugar water every couple hours when awake. I like to use an eye dropper.

If you really think it is dried goo then get a warm wet paper towel and moisten it.
