Injured Newborn Chick

I need help saving a newborn chick! My family has an incubator with 21 eggs. Today is day 20. The first egg hatched 1 hour ago. I was recording videos of it and got attached very quickly for some reason. Motherly instincts I suppose.

At one point, the chick started climbing over the eggs and one of its wings got stuck on the top part of the incubator…I don’t know HOW that could happen 😭😭 but the wing appeared to get sucked in and the chick started screaming. I panicked and unplugged the incubator for 2 seconds, then quickly plugged it back in. The chick’s wing was free, but then it started bleeding all over the un hatched eggs.

Because it’s an hour old and still wet, I’m not sure what to do! I had a panic attack when I saw all the blood coming out of him. I’m actually devastated. It kills me to see animals suffering 😞 please give me advice. My family only has 1 incubator. It’s not chirping as loudly as it was before the injury. Panic x 1000 😭
