Help a newbie out - how long from first hatch to last?

Update - our chick is looking good! Weak, but it's got spirit! Pretty much dried out and fluffy-ish now (well, a bit sticky from dribbled electrolyte). But eyes open and trying to walk/thrash around. It was an amazing turnaround it made. I'm hoping in a few days if it pulls through and it's as strong as the others I can give it back to mum?

Wonderful! Keep it until it can walk and get around o.k. and then go slip it under the hen.
 
Will do. The electric blanket stopped working last night, **** it. Didn't find it until this morn and I'm worried it got cold as it looks a lot sleepier. I had the heater on in that room but the box wasn't as warm as it should have been. Have filled another hot water bottle.
 
Oh dear! It stars 'd*mn'? Looks like I said a much worse word. I promise I didn't!
