A healthy chick that hatched in our coop (the only one that hatched) has a horrible injury. It seems like his/her leg got caught and cut somehow. the cut is where the leg meets the body. Poor little thing is walking and limping and peeping. I tried to give it some cooked egg and it's not interested in eating. It is with a mother hen and she is trying to encourage it to eat as well.. The blood is dried and the hen isn't picking at it. Would you leave the chick with the mother hen or isolate? I'm afraid isolating it would be stressful. It is the only chick with this hen.
(I have other "bought" chicks with other hens)
Advice, please?
