I've read a few posts on newborn chicks, but I really don't know what to do right now. This little chick was fine earlier, happy sitting under the hen. We went back out a few hours later, and it was laying off to the side and had been pecked. My husband brought it in, tried to get some of the dirt off with warm water and a q-tip, but it's kind of just laying there. I think it's exhausted. I does have a few minor injuries, and right now I'm sitting with it wondering what to do. It does chirp occasionally, but doesn't seem like it can lift it's head right now. I don't know if that's because it's so tired or something else. Could someone please just give me quick advice, even if it's been posted before? I'd really appreciate it. I want to save the little one. Thank you.
