We left for 2 hours and when we returned we found “baby” alone on the floor of the coop with mama and other babies up the ramp in the nest. It was cheeping loudly and couldn’t stand. I can’t tell if it’s the wing or leg, but it didn’t appear to be bleeding. I tucked it back under mama hen to warm right away but I’m very worried about it not being able to move around under her. Do I need to bring it inside and put it under heat and rear it in here? This is our first time with chicks and a mama.
 
I have had chicks with this same problem, 5 in total. Unfortunately 5/5 did not make it. I hope that all goes well. It may benefit from electrolytes, vitamins, and warmth.
