In the Brooder

One of my 2 week old chicks somehow got itself caught up in the mama hens feathers under her (she's a Buff so very fluffy), I only realised when I went down to do their corn so it could've been stuck for ages today. There were two feathers tightly around the top of the baby's wing. I managed to free it but the whole wing is swollen and is dragged down a bit I guess from the weight of it. It's moving it a tiny bit and there's no obvious break or deformity but I can see the swelling and bruising. 
I'm worried about risk of infection but I don't think that'll be significantly different if I bring it inside to a brooder. What to do?!
