A few suggestions.... In order to keep it clean from dirt and wood shavings, the open wound needs a scab. It is so small it would be hard to bandage with gauze and neosporen. Fuzz will soon be replaced by feathers too. Antibiotics to fight infection can be given orally by dissolving a tablet in a little water and dosing with a syringe without a needle. Nutridrench can be dosed by the drop or added to drinking water to give added vitamins and minerals. If you don't have that use a drop of baby vitamin Polyvisol w/o iron. Most henhouse chickens don't fly much..so a low roost will work for it as it grows.Any ideas on what to do with a 2day old chick with a compound wing break? There was a piece of bone (I now believe) that came off - it was about the length of a grain of rice but about a fifth as thick. Injury seems to be in the armpit area. Hard to tell with such a small thing. NO CLUE whats going on with first photo.
I use a 10% permethrin based spray. Can be sprayed directly on cattle, horses, dogs and chickens and in chicken coops for mites. I put 4 ounces per gallon on 1,000 sq ft. I spray the whole pasture with the tractor but that's on 10 acres. You can use a hand sprayer and cover the yard, fence rows, and wherever you or the dogs, horses, cattle go or hangout and not do the whole property. It greatly reduces the ticks I have to pull of the horses, dogs, and me. You can stay away from the chicken coops if you are worried about that. It can hurt ornamental flowers. In the garden I use 7 dust right before it rains.
