Chick hatched this morning under a broody hen. We found it out from under her and as we went to pick it up to look the hen pecked at it aggressively again. At first all we saw was a small wound in its back so we brought it into the brooder and treated that. Then we noticed bruising on the left foot and she was holding it out a little bit.
Any idea whether this is broken or not? The worst of it looks to be around the ankle and I can’t find info on how to split it there. I just made her a chick cup which she hates but the leg is now elevated.
Help please I feel so bad that this perfect chick is hurt.
