I have one chick that had started pipping 12 hours ago. I woke up this morning to check on the chicks and this one partially unzipped and has a pool of blood under it in the bator. When should I help? It is moving in the shell but a little disoriented. I do see its beak and it looks like its grasping for air. I have read all the dangers of helping too soon. What should I do?

mine did the exact same and then chick survived and died about a week later it was always the smallest in the brood
 
Could the other chicks that have hatched caused this from pecking at it or is this just something that happens?
 
its the sign of a weak chick usually which mean that the hen or cockerel will never be any good and will always suffer :( and they will usually die from not having the strengh to cope with the world
