peck injured chick

[japonica]

SHe's a baby aracauna, pecked hard on her head and her back. She"s not eating or drinking,peeps every few minutes. I've put neosporin ointment on the wounds and she's wrapped in atowel. Can anyone tell me what to do and what to expect. She's about 6 weeks old.

She needs to be separated from the others til she heals, as they will peck anything bloody or red. When you put her back, see if you can identify who is doing the pecking, and separate that one for several days. When you put the pecker back, he will then be at the bottom of the pecking order.
