Chick in danger! Please Help!

Update

When I woke up this morning I didn't go straight down to see my little chick instead I took a few minutes as I was convinced it was dead despite not seeing it yet. As I walked down the stairs there was a heavy feeling in my stomach. I found the chick sitting normally and I thought "Phew hes just asleep". I bent down and picked him up and the little guy was stiff through

I am so upset that it has died like this. I checked its body once I realized he was dead and there is nothing visiably wrong..I guess the little guy used all his energy to stay alive when I found him that one day, a hardly breathing chick covered in blood and so he didn't have enough energy to keep going on..I hope it was something like that and not something I had done wrong that killed him..Oh I wish I had prober brooder equipment and medicines like people would have if they had chicks from the incubator, perhaps then I could of saved him..
Thank all for your help and advice, I believe it helped to give him the best chance...

Me, I am so sorry to hear they little one didn't make it, listen you don't have anything to feel guilty about, you did all you could to help the little one. I don't have brooder and things if something was to happen to one of mine, they are hatched under broodies too. I would have to improvise just like you did. Just think that you gave it love and support while it was here and that is what counts. I know your heart is broken and we all have been there so we understand..

Thanks everyone for your kind words, I feel better now that he has been buried with other hens that have also passed away in my care and so he can finally rest.
Thanks again everyone if an incident like this ever happens again at least I know how to react and can do so quicker..
