Could it walk when it hatched?

The chick was walking fine when we bought it from tractor supply. This all just started yesterday.

Could I give anything as a pain killer for this poor baby or would it be to dangerous?

It's too small for that.

What should I do for the chick while waiting for it to heal?

 

[Miss Lydia]

Is it separated from the others but where they can see each other?

The chick is in a small cardboard box close to the heater. It can’t see the others, only hear them. Should I put a small window in the cardboard box so they can see each other?
