This morning I noticed my hen’s week-old chick was being dragged around by her wing. I think somehow while they were sleeping, mom and chick got stuck together by something (poop maybe). The underside of the chick’s wing was stuck to the feathers on the hen’s chest and I had to carefully cut the feathers with scissors to separate them. The poor chick is now dragging her wing and the tip of her wing is a little bloody. Is there anything I can do for her?
