Chick attacked by others. How do I treat him?

[Justino]

sunny freaked out when i seprated them....silkies dont peck at him or nothin so is it ok to keep em together? ill watch to make sure no pecking

 

[silkiechicken]

He doesn't look that bad. My guess is the one on his head is when someone bit his comb, and I wouldn't be surprised if he has a big broken pinfeather on his wing that is bleeding.

Clean him up and get a closer look at where the blood is coming from. Neosporin is all I think you really need here if it is abraisions and no open flesh. Best of luck!

A q-tip will work to apply it, or just your fingers if you wash your hands really good. irrigate the wound a few times a day with saline, the kind you use for contacts is fine as long as it isnt the multipurpose kind. a thin layer of neosporin, or even bag balm will keep the bleeding down, and help heal the wound.
