    Bleeding feather in 3 week old baby chick what to do?

    Just an update! The wing looked a lot better the next morning. But once I reintroduced the problem bird it wasnt long after and it started bleeding again. So several 2 hour breaks in chick jail, didnt seem to help the problem bird. If you had to guess would you say this easter egger was a...

    Bleeding feather in 3 week old baby chick what to do?
