Sorry in advance for the horrible picture, I shake too much.

So last night we noticed or chick who's always crying and scratching has a piece of her skull visible with the feathers growing underneath the bone. Her neck also has bones poking up, you can easily feel them. The eggs came from my nankin who got wry neck, we think the chick is from the egg that the hen threw from flopping around. We're probably going to cull the chick but I just wanted to share this injury.

Can you get better photos?
There's a lot going on in the photo with the towel or blanket.

You mention skull is visible but I don't see a skull? I see what looks like may be a vent.

That's the head, I'll try to get a better photo. We've had some yard drama so it slipped my mind, I apologise
 
These are the best picture I could get, I hope they help
