Baby chick with broken foot

[5 Points Wingfeather]

This chick got attacked by a hen yesterday. I brought her and her hatchmates inside to a brooder. Took them away from broody mama.

She eats and breathes fine. No blood. But that foot is definitely broken and swollen. Will she survive? Do I need to do anything to her to help or should I put her down? Just need advice.

And before someone asks, I don’t know exactly how it happened. I assume this first time broody mama didn’t know how to protect the chicks she hatched well enough cause one of the hens got this one and ran out of coop with her and I saw it and caught her and rescued the baby

I would try to make a chick shoe with the foot in a normal position, so that it heals correctly. Do you have a picture of the foot that shows the swelling and what it looks like? A chick sling might be something that helps to get the chick off the leg and in front of food and water while she recovers. She should be removed often to stretch and sleep.

Here is a link for taping the feet, although this one is for a chick with riboflavin deficiency, but may work for your chick:

Here are some chicken shoes you could use to get the foot in the right position.
The smallest yellow one is for the baby chicks.

You can get them at this site or on his Etsy store.

We are going to try to make a bandaid shoe tomorrow I guess?

Here’s a pic from tonight

I can’t remember who all is best to tag for injuries.
