he looks like a blue australorp

So my first batch of chickens I've ever raised in an incubator, had a difficulty but that's all okay now. Yet, another problem. There are only two chicks at the moment, one of which had to be helped out of the egg. The first one is now attacking the second, there is't anything wrong with this...

Thanks, I was worried so I left her/him in the incubator. Should I put it in the brooder now?

This is my first ever chick hatch, one of them had been in their more that 15 hours, and I noticed when I got up this morning instead of a zip, the chick was making a massive hole in the side of the egg. I was worried he was stuck so I was writing about it on BYC when my dad went and cracked...
