A little back story, momma hen was sitting on 5 eggs, all but one hatched. The next day I go check on them and the last egg is struggling to hatch. I help it out and it hatched. That night I put it under momma hen. Everything seemed fine the next day. Chick is now 2 days old. I check on them all. As i moved momma I noticed that chick is under momma and has her head pecked at pretty bad.
I have isolated the chick and I am treated the wounds.
Questions:
1) How long do I keep the chick separated?
2) Will I have to raise the chick in a brooder?
3) Does it need another chick with it when it heals?
Not sure how to care for the chick once it heals.
Thanks Everyone
