Thanks! I have a bandaid on her, I don't know how I'm going to get it off because there is no space for me to pull it. I'm afraid to hurt her. So I'll leave it on all day, then take it off this evening, let her rest for a few hours, and then put it on again for overnight? I'll stop and get Vitamin B, what dosage should I get? And should it be tablet or chewable or sublingual? Thanks!!

Make sure she can still get around but her legs can't spray out. Liquid vitamins under the tongue is best, it hits the blood stream fast. I like Poultry Cell by Rooster Booster, its got everything they need for good health, you can get it from Chewy, a couple of drops and birds respond well.

Poultry Cell or B-12 liquid? Can I put it in her water? I can give it to the other chicks as well yes?

You can use either. It will help her faster if you dose her individually however yes you can instead put it in the water.

Can anyone suggest the best type of bedding to use for them? And what kind of treats can I give them? Or do I have to wait until they're older to give them treats?
