We have just recently received some chicks it is our first time with any chickens at all. About 1 week having them they started to peck at each other and 4 of them are hurt. 3 of them are just small wounds and nothing too big but the 4th one is hurt pretty bad, she has a hurt upper right wing and I can see her bones.She is just sitting there not moving much. I have them all separated into there own cages with their own lamps with food and water but I don't know much about them and I don't know what else to do for them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
when mine started pecking on each other i had a couple of significant wounds. from advice here, i bought a product called blu kote. it stains big time, but worked great to help heal and to camophlage (sp?) the wounds to keep from further pecking.
i had to move mine to bigger digs because they were picking out of boredom. once moved, picking instantly stopped. good luck
 
Try cleaning it off some then put Lanolin on it, or antiseptic ointment. Then you can put some Blu-Kote on it and the others too. But the really injured one, I'd keep in contained.
