Can a Chick be Reintroduced to Broody After Separation Due to Injury?

[Bellsa08]

I have an injured chick and feel unsure about separating it from its siblings and the mama hen in case she wouldn’t take it back and also the chick would be back with the rest of the flock. Thoughts on this? Has anyone had to do this before for a chick being raised in the flock? Chick is 5 days old. Also, how quickly do wounds heal typically at that age? TIA!

What is the injury?

What is the injury?

Skin tear on neck, not bleeding though. I put antibiotic ointment on it. Now it’s more
visible to the others than before because the feathers are “wet” from the ointment.

Maybe just see if you can leave it? Obviously take it if pecking starts, but they might not even do anytbing
