is there something wrong with this newborn JUST hatched chick?

i bought and raised her parents in the same incubator.

someone please tell me, the parents both have part silkie in them. the mom is part sapphire gem and silkie, idk if anything else.
the dad is the same. part silkie part i have no one else.

first 3 pics are of the new born. born earlier today. happy birthday!

next is mom and our dog. not broody. we gave her eggs to our broody hen but she ditched them 2x.
i tried giving her the newborns, she pecked a bit, pretty interested, but ive seen how cruel adults can be to chicks. even if she is completely alone with the one that was born 2 days ago, i just can’t trust it.

anyways then dad is the brown cockerel and then the mom again. kinda looks like a bump on her head.

i dont honestly know pleaseeeee lmk if you have ANY advice, opinions, facts, etc.
WAS super lethargic after exiting the egg and now she’s more excited and moving around. And doing what normal chicks do when they’re in the incubator, trying to fluff out.

I haven’t put the check. That was Born a 2 days ago in with her and she keeps pecking her.

Looks like it has a vaulted skull. If it's part silkie that's probably why. It should be okay. It's just more vulnerable to brain damage if it ever gets pecked on the head. Otherwise it should be a normal chick.

Vaulted skulls are a deformity that happens in crested breeds. It gives them that strange skull shape and the bump part of the skull is often thin and fragile with small holes. Vaulted skull birds can live a normal life as long as nothing ever hits them just right in the skull, it's like they have permanent soft spots that can lead to brain damage. Compared to birds with normal skulls, they are more likely to experience sudden head injury/death but many lead long full lives. The vaulted skull trait can affect behavior and cause other health issues, many people find their vaulted skull birds to be on the lower side of chicken intelligence but they're often quite sweet.

Some signs of brain damage are impaired motor functions (stumbling around, awkward movements, maybe unable to walk at all) or vision/hearing loss. If there's serious brain damage, it will be obvious.
