Good luck with your chick, Saaniya!
Follow Eggcessive and Wyorp Rock's advice.
Have you checked him over for mites/lice, just in case?

Saainya, get some photos, you mention his legs are swollen. It may be that there's nothing you can do and he may not recover, but I would like to see. A sling is probably a good idea to help take some weight off the legs for the time being until you can make further decisions.

As for making assumptions about an OP, we all have done that. Talking about them like they don't exist is in bad taste. It wouldn't take but a couple of minutes to look at someone's profile or BYC posting history to determine how much experience or proper care a person gives.
Saainya is one of the most caring and passionate people I have met here on BYC.

No one is perfect. Accidents happen. While recovery doesn't sound promising from the description of injury, giving the OP support and constructive suggestions is a better course of action instead of tearing them down further when they are in distress.

I stand by my response. I wasn't talking like the OP didn't exist, I was responding to another poster who suggested the OP get another chicken. Yes, accidents happen, and they can happen to very kind people who meant no harm. That said, some accidents are more preventable than others. Allowing a young chick to be in a situation where they could fall and be injured is one of those situations. It is our job to keep them safe. We wouldn't leave a baby in a place where they could fall and get hurt. We shouldn't do that with our pets either.

I don't think getting another chick is a good idea. Not that chicks enjoy being alone, but one is dead and the other is fading. No more chickens until they learn how to properly care for them.

Okay, this thread is supposed to be helpful for the OP, so they can help the chick. You telling the OP that she can't care for the chick is not helpful at all. This is unnecessary.

In India, it is a common thing for chicks to be dyed in colors. Most of the time, they inject the dye into the egg before the chick hatches, so it doesn't hurt the chick. Accidents happen.

I second that @Saaniya is a very caring and responsible person. She has a lot of knowledge about chickens and loves her pet roosters. She helps people here on the emergency forum often.

I hope that you can get your rescue cockerel to survive Saaniya. If you could use a mushy chicken feed or mixture that you give your roosters, that might be best. He might have swallowed something similar that the other chickswallowed.

I third! She wouldn't be here asking for help if she didn't care a lot about her chicks. You are doing a great job @Saaniya! I hope your chick makes ti through this. Here is a video on how to make a chicken sling-

I agree with you totally even I place his brooder nearby Support where it stay on ground and cover it with Wide hole net to prevent him jumping .

He fall last Sunday when my cousin wants to hold him and he slips and fall on ground
I rush he was screaming loudly we turn on our heater and he sat down ..he have swelling on his hocks so I applied warm oil regularly since then ..today he able to walk on his own without sitting down ..

I never mean to hurt him I feel so sad to leave him alone

 

[Saaniya]

He's eating well and wants to play except his small look , he don't chirp since he's alone he made small sweet voices but not much ..he's overall a very calm chick who loves to cuddle


I gave him probiotics hour ago in his water will give yoghurt tomorrow and follow other advices . I don't think he need sling he is now walking on his own
