We’ve hatched a lot of our own chicks from broody hens. Never seen this but she doesn’t look good. Is there a known cause? Maybe another hen attacked her? The chic can’t be more than 3 days old. I’ll attach pics in comments it’s not working to attach here.

Can you get a better picture? Kinda hard to make it out.
My camera wasn’t focusing. If she survives through the night (she seemed fine, searching for food and talking with mom etc, but just doesn’t look good) I’ll take more pics tomorrow. There was also a spot on her back.

It’s on both sides of her face
