Baby chick stepped on with poopy shoe

I will just add one more thing, in case it might be helpful for someone researching after this kind of accident.

In the first couple of minutes, that chick looked like it was definitely gone. I'm assuming this sweet thing was in some kind of shock. It was still, eyes closed, looked flat.

Then it started to perk up but it wasn't until a couple of hours later that it looked "normal". Kept a close watch on it and the next morning all was still fine....5 days later, still is. I still can't believe it because it looked like it was an absolutely terrible shape.

No problems with the mom accepting it either.

I know that we got really really lucky. Just putting it here in case somebody has this happen, don't lose hope!
