May Have a sick/injured 2 week old meat chick.

[CBDV]

I have 50 2 weeks old meat chickens and one of them is very small not much bigger that its original size. I checked it out and it appears to have a scab on the belly about one inch below the vent. It eats a little and drink a little but he is slow moving. He does not appear to be bullied by the others as they are quite young. I uploaded a picture that is fuzzy a little (sorry) but I hope somebody can help.
I think he got injured somehow and he may not make it. Hope someone has seen this before, I would not want to let it suffer for nothing.

This may sound harsh, but I think you would be better off to humanely dispose of him. From long experience, I have found that trying to save poor doers of any species is a losing proposition. Even if they survive, they never do well.

Been there. Done that. More than once.
