****just injured**** 12 week old chick.

She could have a broken leg or internal injuries. I would try to get her to eat on her own by holding a small scoop with watery chick feed and cooked egg up to her beak, and dipping her beak into water. A chick chair or sling might be a good way to get her up, but only do that if she is able to tolerate it. You might be able to make her a little nest to hold her up. Look at these links for homemade chick slings and see post 31 for the nest idea:

She’s standing up now but definitely not moving around. And she able to sit down on her own. She’s in my home with me for now. I’m not sure if she’s wondering where flock mates are or wimpering because she doesn’t feel well or I’m just not reading the signs well at all. I will keep encouraging her to eat and drink. Thank you for the follow up
