Bloody mess! Help!

Hello again! I just hatched out 9 oegb chicks with little issues but now I've got a big one and I don't know what to do... One of the hatched chicks pecked an egg and it started to bleed... This poor chick pipped last night and I just left it alone till about a few hours ago ... I pulled back shell to see what is going on and the whole inside is covered in blood... The chick is alive , it's moving it's beak but should I get it out? Leave it be? What should I do? I'm on day 21 , I have 8 eggs left but I'm pretty sure 1 is dead and 7 hasn't even pipped yet... What should I do?

Urrrr I have no idea this seems bad?!!!! Can you post a pic?

It's unpleasant I'm sorry!

I know it's bad but I was expecting worse! I don't know what to do but it looks like it could get out is it still absorbing the yolk?!
I wouldn't take it out unless someone with experience tells you to or what to do I hope someone says something soon!!

Im not sure how to tell but it's making breathing/swallowing motions so I guess? First time dealing with this and my first big batch so idk!!
