I just popped my head in the brooder to look at the chicks and noticed blood on one of the wings. When I picked her up and looked closer i could see one of her feathers was cracked and bleeding. Shes about 3-4 weeks old so shes just starting to grow her big girl feathers in.
I have her wrapped up in a paper towel then in a blanket on my chest to keep her warm. I want to make sure the bleeding stopped before i put her back with the others.
Is this something that happens? I would take a picture but right now she is kinda sleeping and I dont want her to move her wing to much till it clots of something.
Any advice would be very much appreciated. She seems pretty happy snuggled in right now but I want to make sure she will be alright.
