So sad news. Baby chick passed away some time lastnight.I think you've done all you can. It probably won't make it, but separating it will give it it's best chance. You could put some triple antibiotic ointment on anywhere you can, preventing the growth of bacteria is most important- since it hasn't bled out, that's what's most likely to get it. Maybe vinegar or a piece of copper in the incubators water reservoir? Anything to stop it reaching the exposed egg. At day 14, it doesn't need turning anymore which helps. Keep us updated!
