help with malformed chick

We have two broodies, a Buff Orphington and a Milles Fleur bantam, co-setting on eggs that are starting to hatch. The first and so far only chick hatched 24 hours ago. I found it next to the buff and slipped it under her. Last night it was under the bantam and this morning next to the bantam. This chickÂs legs are kind of curled. I put it back under the Buff for warmth. And when I just checked Âit has a gash on the side of its head. I have brought it inÂright now IÂm holding it to keep it warm while I set up

(with the other hand) a brooder. I has taken some sugar water. Ill have pedialyte in a few hours. ItÂs cheeping loudly. I just set it in the brooder and its right leg is sticking out behind it and its right wing is out. Is there any chance that I can do something to help this chick survive? Please help.
