Chick attacked by it's "mother" at hatch

[Dlcna30]

I took remaining ready to hatch eggs and some that are due to hatch in 7 days as these were under 2 broody Bantams sitting in same nesting box left the Bantam eggs. I cleaned with veterinary bentadine and put a small amount of Bacitracin it is just hatched and is moving and peeping as a new hatch does mostly sleeping.

I’m not sure how to treat one so new, but I would say apply plain neosporin after you rub off the blood and inspect the wounds, maybe get a few pictures for us, maybe dab it with some warm water but be careful not to injure it further. Possibly give it some sugar water as well.

It is doing good so far acts like nothing is wrong.
