Thanks Vehve.
Yes, Cwrite. That's what I did. I didn't want to mess with it too much and stress an already weaker chick even more than it was so I left it under Bubbles for tonight. I'll be getting up earlier in the morning to check on it and hopefully if it's made it through the night, I'll apply some wound ointment

Not very nice seeing completely formed chicks ready to enter the world and not make it. Times like these I wish I worked from home so I could have helped them. I also found another bantam Rock that had rolled away from the nest and it's little head was stuck inside the egg. Poor thing was cold to the touch and when I got it out, I found a nasty cut on it's face right near it's eye (thank goodness it's eye isn't compromised though). It was near on dark so I just popped it back under Bubbles and will clean it up a bit in the morning. 
the little thing makes it through the night. I really hope so. If anyone has any advice they could give me regarding treatment for this little one, I'd be very grateful. So all up I have 3 Favs - all looking Cuckoo. 2 Aras - one completely black, the other a darker colour I'm not sure what it is 2 bantam Pencilled Rocks.
e For your chicks that made it.
