Honestly hard to tell what’s going on in the photo. Is it eating and drinking and acting normally? Is it pooping? I would not cut this off I would just leave it alone and it should dry up on its own and fall off.
What makes you think that it is in pain?

What makes you think that it is I bought some Electrolyte packets from tractor supply.its called Sav a chick. I haven't seen it eat or drink. But that doesn't mean it hasn't had something. It's a banty chick so it's super tiny.. I feel like it's crying non stop.. I know chickens don't cry tears but it doesn't stop peeping the only way it stops peeping is if I put it in my cami shirt with a built-in bra.. I'm sry for saying but it's chirps non stop until I put it there

I'm sry I got sode tracked I assumed it's are or drank but not 100% so that's why I been giving it the electrolytes to help

Is it the only chick? Do you have others with it? Has it been walking around normally? Does it have its eyes open? See if you can observe/encourage it to eat and drink. You didn’t mention anything about electrolytes in your first post. Are you using Nutradrench? Save a chick?

Yes it's with other chicks.i have honestly tried everything I can think of

 

[LadiesAndJane]

You have not answered if it’s eating or drinking, walking normally, acting normally like the other chicks?

 

[PippinTheChicken]

Like @LadiesAndJane said, if the chick is acting normal (moving around, eating, drinking, alert, etc) there's nothing to worry about

@casportpony can you move this over to the emergencies forum?

@Tnelson84 I’m asking if one of the moderators can move this over to the emergencies forum so you can get some more answers to your questions. Unfortunately I have to sign off now but hopefully others will respond. Fingers crossed everything goes well for this little one!
