3.5 week chick attacked

[AlexanderWilson83]

so I was closing the coop door and I found this poor fella tonight.
1 of our hens hatched her just 3 weeks ago. I’ll be very surprised but I hope she makes it through tonight.
I can’t decide if maybe a rat has pecked her today or the cockerel or another hen has seeisouly been pecking at her.

i am so sorry i had chicks in a brooder and they got eaten by a rat so it could have been a rat was she under her mother when you found her

No her mum was on the rooster bar and she was down in the nest / box.

Squirrel is possible although I haven’t spotted many around the coop (yet) My dad is a game keeper and he thinks it may have been a hoody crow.
Thanks for the replies

Did she make

Did she make

Yeah, she’s eating and drinking water. Wound is dry - so it seeping. I think things will be ok. Keeping her enclosed in an old dog cage indoors for circa two weeks then she can be reunited with the other hens
