Yesterday I had came back to my home to see that my chick wasn't peeping (we let it be outside but inside a cage type of area, we couldn't keep it outside with the rest of the flock since a hawk or bird of that kind took it's two other siblings before). It was injured, and very badly at that At first we only found one injury under it's right wing which seemed to be a bad scratch from some animal. The blood was dried up so I suppose it happened hours before I arrived. We brought it inside and then found out it had another bad injury this time looking like the flesh was ripped off, being on it's left leg, right where they would bend their leg to sit or lay. We haven't cleaned it so I wanted to know if I should clean it or not, and what type of things I'll need to clean it with. So far it's getting better but mostly it has been sleeping, when it stands or sits it walks crooked so I'm worried about that too. Oh and what would be the best thing too feed it for a faster recovery? Feel free to tell me, I'll appreciate any help I can get! :')
