In the Brooder
We have a 3 week old freedom ranger chick who has acquired an injury near the base of her tail that the other chicks love to peck at. I cleaned the wound with a warm damp paper towel and she has been separated into a temporary sick bay brooder, so she can heal sans the other meaties tormenting her. But she looks to be incredibly lonely. I took her upstairs to observe her as it heals, but im wondering if she would do better if I moved her back near the other chicks so she can hear them, or would that just stress her more? Is there any other way to kick the loneliness? I played some chick sounds on my phone to her and she calmed down for awhile. She is currently quietly sleeping but being a first time chick(en) parent, im awfully paranoid that there is something more that I could be doing to help her. Any suggestions would be VERY welcome.
