One day old chick was severely pecked by the hen

Glad she made it! Did you add the almost blind one for company? They may both benefit from each others company and your additional care.

The chick which was almost blind has always been accompanied by the hen.At the very beginning, it was very obviously visually impaired and need human assistance to return the henhouse. One of its eyes was closed most of time and there is only a lightning scar on the other side(We didn't take picture for its scar, because it seems too cruel. ). But surprisingly, we found that it is as lively as siblings gradually.We did not deliberately take it away from the hen, but observations from close up seem to indicate that it now has both eyes(Perhaps it was stunted initially). The photo was taken when it was born.It seems much better now.

As for the injured chicken, we play with it for a while every day. And in the afternoon we put it to a place nearby the 3 months old chickens.The older ones are often frightened by it ,because it likes rushing to the side of their paws.
