Can I reintroduce my chick to the rest?

[Hannahg1001]

Saturday morning I had a chick get stuck on one of those sticky mouse traps. Luckily I was able to get her off but not before the chick had pulled multiple feathers out of her chest and having to clip off some feathers from its wings due to the amount of glue that wouldn’t come off. She was limping on her left foot once I got her off the mouse trap. In the same day she starting walking on it just fine. Since the chick had ate and drank just fine and has continued healing. It’s been 4 days now and I have kept it separate from the rest just to make sure no one would pluck at her. It’s looking much better than it was but it’s still missing feathers slightly on its chest and ofc where I had to clip part of the feathers off the wing. Do you think it’s fine to go ahead and put it back with the rest of the chicks? Or should I wait until feathers have completely grown in?

Put her back in and keep a close eye on her and if they pick on her maybe separate her by herself with one of the other chicks but monitor them.

Feathers may not grow back in until she molts, which could be a while. By that time she will be a complete stranger to the others and reintegrating could be very challenging. Do it now, she's only been separated a few days.

In case anyone else gets something stuck in a sticky mouse trap, regular cooking oil (vegetable, olive, canola, etc) should break the bond of the adhesive and avoid tissue damage from removing the animal.
