One of my 3 week old barred rock chicks feel out of the cage to the
cement floor below two days ago-about a two foot fall :(

Now this is what I see:







I think it received internal injury. I suppose there is no hope for this little guy.
It is acting lethargic and not eating or drinking. I think it is on the way out.
For now I have separated the baby from the others to avoid further torment.
But does this look like its intestines coming out?
It is a gonner right?
 
Sorry about your little guy. Yes that looks like his large intestine prolapsing out of his vent. Sometimes a prolapse can be pushed back inside and kept moist with honey or olive oil, but that is a pretty bad one. I would probably try anyway, but then try to get him to drink some vitamins with electrolytes in his water, or substitute gatorade or pedialyte. If you think he is suffering, I would consider putting him down. Let us know how he gets along.
