Hatching injuries

[JasperLax5]

We have a newly hatched chick who has damaged her beak / comb during unzipping. She has a small amount of blood on her comb so I know the skin is broken. Should I be bathing this? And if so what is best to use please. ? - I am new to chicken raising and want to get this right. She pipped early ( day19) at wrong end of egg but following advice read on this site I kept my patience and she hatched out without assistance on day 22 but her beak was frantically pecking through her pip hole for two days without progress, which is how I think she damaged herself. Please advise thank you.

Don’t do anything. It should be ok.

Thanks for the reassurance.

You bet. Chickens heal really well with no assistance usually. If they have a bad injury or cut I use a mix of cbd oil and triple antibiotic ointment. But the little guys usually just need a little time for their body to make repairs. I wish you well.
