Help, Just found this injury on my two week old chick.

Just saw this, baby is in a seperste copp with mom and siblings the same age.

What do I do? I have vetericy plus, do I wash the wound and then spray? What would cause this? It's under her wing.

looks like mom or someone pecked it, or it hit something sharp
i don't know what the spray is but i would dab the wound with a warm damp paper towel and then spray with the spray or a disinfectant

Thank you, this is my first injury like this. Is it bad, do they recover from this? Do I seperate her from mom?

it looks bad/ but i have seen worse with a full recovery, but it should heal
most of the time when i have had stuff like this happen it heals
yes, i would separate and if she seems lonely give her a friend and make sure the buddy isn't pecking her

Keep her separated and the wound clean. Make sure she’s eating and drinking. Chickens heal very well and very quickly in general but it’s a bit iffy with a young chick since they are more delicate.

Will definitely do, I feel so bad taking her from her momma though.
