need help!!!

I would treat him like any new hatched chick, keep him warm... I would not put him in with the others right now, I would wait at least a day so he can dry out and get strong. Once dry (in the bator) I would take a peice of cardboard block a spot for him in the brooder near the heat lamp and offer him food and water (at that point you could offer him 1 chick friend, a calm one would be good) just so he has someone to hang with (keep and eye on them to make sure it's going on) Once strong and stable I would let him and his buddy join the group. What a lucky chick huh ?? WOW !!!! At least he has a story to tell his chick friends, LOL !!! Well, off to bed for me I will check back tomorrow morning for an update, If you need any more help you can email or PM me.

Chick is doing well... Moved him/her to the brooder...
It has a lot of dried blood on its back.. will clean when stronger.
The chick is weak... I gave food and water (with electrolytes and vitamins and sugar). It is drinking alot right now.
