I hatched this chick without an incubator and this is what it looks like.

Gotcha. I know it’s easy to panic, but those mamas know what they are doing.

I agree with what @HollowOfWisps said, keep it warm and let it rest.

Up to you if you want to return the other two to mama duck or hatch them yourself, my personal opinion is that mama knows best. Good luck to you either way.
These defects are generally caused by an incorrect incubation temperature.

The best thing to do is to put the chick to sleep. If it survives, it will not be competitive and will be abused to death by the others.
 
How is the duckling doing now? It's been a week?

Did the others hatch?
She's a little lovebug lol and no, out of 3 eggs the mom pushed one out and the other egg didn't pip.
