Chick with broken wing

[JaciAlyssa]

I have free range chickens on my little farm. One hen decided to nest in the pen of my 4 month old billy goat. Didn't have any problems but today she hatched 9 chicks. When I came out to feed the goats, mama hen was running the billy in circles to get him away from her chicks. I noticed one hobbling along behind her when I fed them and shooed her away to pick him up. His wing is broken, like, it's bleeding and broken. His foot was also stomped on, not sure if it's broken though. He's in lots of pain. I brought him into the house and put him in the brooder. What should I do for the little guy? I'll add a picture below.

Since the wing is broken and bone exposed, plus a foot injury, it would be worth considering putting the chick down. However, I would try to get Clindamycin or Cephalexin antibiotic for treating and preventing a bone infection, because of open bone wounds. The wing can be removed if it is too damaged. The foot may heel if it is not crushed. Splinting might be helpful. Of course a vet is your best bet for help. Here is a splinting manual for the foot (pages 19-23,) but I would not splint the wing:

Here is fish clindamycin, and I can help get a dosage if you decide to use it:

Here is a link for cephalexin:
