    Newly hatched chick appears injured!

    I have a chick, hatched this morning on day 20, that is weak and appears to have an injured neck - like surface wounds, maybe scratches. The mother hen has not rejected it, and the chick is doing its best to stay snuggled up under her warm feathers. The chick's feathers have not fluffed up yet...
