Gathered him from under a broody hen. He was looking fine till by sister saw a redish blue veined bald spot under his wing which was noticeably lacking feathers.
He ate, but isn't drinking excessively like new chicks do.
He is 1 day old.
HELP I've never had this problem before.
 
Right now he is seperate from the other hatchlings. They are ALL fine and healthy. So far 8/9 have hatched. He is the only injured one.
I'm confused... I raise chickens in large flocks so i'm not unfamiliar with injuries.
 
We need a lot more information (photos would be really helpful) before we can help you. My gut tells me to let him stay with the broody for now.
Can you post some pics?
