Help 5 Day Old Chick with Cut- Keeps Being Pecked

[Chiquitita6]

Noticed one of my 5 day old chicks has a small cut near her ear, about 1/4 of an inch (half a cm). This is my first time raising chicks so am quite panicked as obviously the others keep pecking at it. I only have one heat plate, however do have an animal heat pad, would I be alright to removed her and put her on this? And what can I treat the wound with?

Try covering it with BlueKote. Birds will peck at anything that looks red.

If you have a little antiseptic ointment, you could also but some of that on.

If all else fails, you could remove the little chick, but likely you won't have to if you can get some Blue Kote or Peck No More on it.
