Limping chick!!!

Hi, one of my hens pecked my broody hens chicks foot. She squealed then started limping. There's no blood, but I'm worried. The chick of 4 days old.
What should I do?

I'd double-check to make sure it's not broken. It might just be sore.

If it's able to get to food/water and move around, then I'd be tempted to leave it be. Otherwise, if it's seeming to struggle, I'd take that one and one other one and put them in a small box with soft lining so it doesn't move around a lot and feed/water them by hand. After a day, see if it's able to get around better so could be put back with the siblings.

I'd also give them a day of Poultry Cell water too. Skip a day, then another day of vitamin water. That'll help it heal if bruised or strained.

Sesame (the chick) seems to be doing very well, I think it was just more of a fright she got. She was running around flapping and enjoying life!
