One of my chicks in the incubator has had her head pecked. There’s some dried blood on her head and by her beak. I can’t really take her out yet as there are still 3 chicks yet to hatch, two of which have pipped. When I do take her out, how should I treat her? I have included some photos of her below.
Thank you!

Hi! It might not be a wound but from the hatching process. If it is a wound, use saline to clean it up and then slather it with plain antibiotic ointment.

Congratulations on the chicks!
Thank you very much! 5/8 so far, very exciting!
