When we came home, my brother went outside to play with the chickens. He came running inside saying the Golden Sebright chick was dead. So I rushed outside to the coop and picked up the lifeless bird. He had a really bloody head. From what we know one of our adult roos saw him as a threat and started fighting him. We know it was him as he had a bloody beak. My mom came up the hill with another brother and she suddenly saw his eye open ever so slightly. We rushed inside and started to heat him up. Then we wrapped him loosely in a towel, put him in a box, and set him next to the heat vent in my room with the lights off. About three hours later, I entered my room and I saw he was sitting up, sleeping. I started to stroke his back and he opened his eyes and started peeping!!! I offered him very little food and he ate it! It was so amazing. God showed us His amazing power. That little chick might have even been dead. We barely did anything and God has healed him. He is still a bit wobbly but is fine other than that.
 
awe, poor guy. Glad he's ok!

There is physical warmth and then there is the warmth of the spirit. I think a bit of both brought him through this PC...I'm glad you were there to give him each in equal and healing measure. Here's to his continued good recovery.

Were it me, I'd keep him inside for at least a few days. Then I'd make sure that he doesn't come into contact with your roo until this little guy is full grown, if that is at all possible. Good luck and let us know how he does.
 
When I picked him up that day, he wasn't even conscious and he was cold, so I don't think he really cared about going inside or being warm.
He won't be going outside for a while. I am using a cat crate for him to stay in. There is a lamp over him to keep him warm and give him light. He just loves to be held and when I do hold him, he falls asleep. Here is a picture of him before it happened:

One year when I was a kid my mother had some half grown bantams in a box on the sun porch. One got out and found his way into the bathroom. My mother found him drowned in the toilet. She fished out the "dead" body and put it under a metal garbage can lid in the sun on the sun porch until she had time to deal with it. Pretty soon she hear a faint squawwwwk. She checked and her dead bantam had come back to life. The winter sun coming through the glass and shining on the garbage can lid had warmed him up. She named him Lazerath (sp) after the character in the bible that Jesus brought back to life. We had him for many years and he was a special pet.
