first and for most it needs to be in a box with a heat lite on it. put some marbles in a water dish so that it does not drown.
was it attacked by another animal or predator?

 

[chicken legs]

it's in makeshift brooder...not drinking much...Bodynsoul in chat said not to worry about food until it's drinking better...not sure it will make it thru the night. It has 2 wounds (Look to be surface) on back....seems to have narrowly escaped a predator. Water is in there but it does not go and drink from it.

ANY suggestions are greatly appreciated?

Heat lamp! What's the temp in the brooder?? Can you get the wounds clean? Gently? It needs to be warm & quiet!

try and help it drink.. it might bee to weak.

The makeshift brooder is about 100F. Have done my best for the night with help from everybody...thanks to all of you








oh...


and a special thanks to my veterinary hospital whose answering service suggested that I call the emergency hospital who then promptly informed me that they "don't do" wildlife but gladly gave me their web address

WUH?

u know what.. that might not be a cicken chick. might be a pheasent chick... or something else... hmmmmmm doesnt look like a chicken chick... good luck.. if it is a pheasent chick it would be much older than 3 days. just by size judgement.. try looking pheasent chicks up on google or something... or that sight that i posted eartlyer.... might have game bird info.. good luck! ohh.. and it might need spesial feed ... idk.

Poor thing. I am praying for the little one. I sure hopes it makes it.

I don't see any sign of a comb. I'm not experienced in all the different breeds of chickens and their development but I think you have something besides a chicken.

100 in the brooder might be too warm.
