I feel your pain.
Swifts repaired and repopulated a nest on a bell box at the rear of the house this summer. Heard some chirping and found a vocal chick had fallen out of the nest, slid down the roof and landed on the grass.
I did leave it overnight hoping nature would take its course which I thought it had until later the next day i heard the familiar chirping sound. I picked it up and saw a couple of tics scurrying back under its neck feathers. Google wasn't much help so I'm afraid it was euthanised.
Horrible feeling.
