Should I help this chick?

[Caffus]

Oh good! She is moving around in the incubator and disturbing the heat sensor. Can I take her out now and carefully blow dry her? I still have two eggs in there.one on day 19 and one on day 20. I don't see a pip yet on those and the incubator is so wet she isnt drying

I wouldn't blow dry her, it can very easily burn their skin, even on low heat. If you can set up a separate brooder and get it up to temp (95 under the heat source) that would be best.

Ok.
Can you set up a separate brooder for her? With a towel or something on the floor inside.
She could hurt herself on the slippery surface in there.

I can...she is covered in dried yolk..should I try and wash her, or just let it come off naturally?

Are you sure it's yolk? If you can take her out of the incubator and take some pics that would help.
Post a pic of her navel too, please.

She was actually pretty dry.she has dried egg all over her, which is why she still looks wet. I have already put her with the other chicks...they seem to be getting along fine.

I don't think it's a good idea to put her with the others yet.
If she's sticky it's probably not egg yolk. Pics would help.

Whatever it is, its dry and making her look wet

Ok, those help. Get a soft toothbrush, or a terry cloth. Dampen it with warm water. Then, gently scrub the chick's back and very gently her head. That should help get rid of the stickiness. If it doesn't all come off, don't worry. It will all come off eventually, and it won't cause her any pain.
Her navel looks ok. Make sure there's no pecking going on, but she should be alright with the others.

Thank you..it seems like her legs are week and she cant stand up.
