I feel terrible. The brooder door slammed down hitting one of my tsc chicks and breaking its back. I think it broke another's toe. Omg im so done with today. I aldready lost one of my chicks this morning for being ill..

Ive fed the baby thats alive yougurt and gave him save a chick. What else can i do? Hes only sitting and his foot is swollen
Hes about 4 weeks old. Can i wrao his foot?
 
Did the one with a broken back die? If it didn't you may want to put out of its misery. How, I don't know.
Is the one with a broken foot the one you're feeding yogurt? One of my chicks had a weird foot and I put aloe vera gel on it and wrapped it with something (It was last year so I don't remember). I'm not sure it actually helped.
Do you have any lavender essential oil? You could put that (diluted with some kind of oil, preferably coconut oil)
 
The one that died almost instantly the one that I have that still lives now I thought I had yogurt right now I'm taking peroxide and Betadine and I'm putting triple anabiotic limit on it I hope it works
 
Rub a little bit of the lavender oil (diluted with a carrier oil) on its foot. Don't feed it to it, it could harm it (whew, that's a lot of "it"s).
What kind of yogurt are you feeding the chick?
 
Ok, if he's sleeping that should be good. Keep an eye on it. Is it warm enough?
A warm rag on its foot might help ease the pain as well
