Oh Geez!!
Never seen that before!
Are there actually eyeballs in both on the right side?
Looks like only the bottom one has an eyeball.

Hard to say if it will survive....or if it should.
With that kind of a mutation, there could be more wrong on the inside of it.

It has half an eye on the top and its surviving really good right know
 
I don't think you can do anything horribly wrong to hurt it, or anything. Just treat it like any other chick, but watch it to see if the other chicks peck at the extra eye, if it has a hard time eating or drinking, breathing irregularities, or maybe the half eye drying out (if there is no eyelid)?

edited to add: Good luck!

Best of cLuck to yas!

ETA: Where did the hatching eggs come from, do yo know the parentage history?
Are the other chicks from the hatch normal and from the same parentage?
