why is she pink? Do not hold the chick on its back if possible, it’s not natural for them and can do more harm than good. Do a thorough examine of her entire body. Other than the crop are there other injuries? I am no expert but if the bird is suffering it may be worth thinking of humanely putting her out of her misery. @azygous @Wyorp Rock

I’m sure you are already thinking of this, but I suggest keeping dogs away from birds, especially birds this small and defenseless. It’s possible for dogs attack chickens so it’s our job to keep them away. Keep the birds in a brooder that is secured and strong enough to hold out jumping dogs etc.

Tell us how the chick is behaving. Is it able to stand and walk? Is it able to eat and drink?

If the answer is no to those questions, the chick is going to die.

If the chick is behaving normally, then it has the risk of having that wound become infected since it's a puncture wound from a dog bite which would have pushed a lot of nasty bacteria into the chick's body. In that case, the chick will die.

Add it all up, and your best bet is to end the chick's suffering.

As to why the chick is pink, this is the custom in south Asia for street vendors selling baby chicks to dye them bright colors entice people to buy them.

Plus, most if not all of these birds are cockerels
