That these chicks are almost all cockerels is actually fine with people who purchase them as keeping roosters as household pets is quite popular in south Asia. We have BYC members who have single or pairs of roosters that they love as family.

I agree with previous posters. It might be best to put the chick down since the crop is injured.

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 buy this from a vendor whose selling dyed chicks

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.

what can i do here?

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.

im not like the others who make them toys, this is the first chick that i bought and i think he is 9-10 weeks old?

If you want a chick, you buy them where you can get them. Is this a photo of your current living rooster or a previous pet?

If the chick is eating and drinking, it may survive. But bacteria from the bite could still kill him. The crop tear can heal. But you will need to care for the wound, keeping it clean and applying an antibiotic ointment.

If you can get some super glue, wait until the chick has emptied his crop. Clean and dry the wound and apply the super glue to the tear in the crop sac and hold the edges together until they bond. Then do the same for the outer skin. This will require a super human amount of dexterity and you may need a helper - one to hold the chick steady while the other performs the operation.

Feed only sugar water and liquid baby vitamins for a few days until the crop heals.
