badly injured chick

[clintwilson59]

last night something got into my pen and ate 1 chick and left a silkie chick witha little cut so this morning i put them in their old brooder(by them i mean my silkie chick and another regular chick). when i got home from school i checked on them and the silkie had i huge hole in its back about 1cm deep and wide, its side was like inflated with air. i gently pressed the bubble and it deflated then i cleaned up the wound with peroxide and a qtip. any advise on what to do now?

Keep it warm, fed and safe from any further injury, it may pull through and heal up quickly.

its eating and drinking and moving around like it doesnt ven know something has happened. i brought it up to the house and put it in its own little cage on the porch.

If a chick gets a wound and starts bleeding the others will pick at it non stop, so get it seperated with food water and heat.
The peroxide was probably a good idea too.

the little guy made it through the night and was walking around when i got home from school, so hopefully that means he/ she will make it.
