If you can get ahold of something called Fura-Zone, that will work wonders on those wounds.
Your best bet is to keep the chick separated for now, but if you can find this particular ointment those wounds will stay clean and will heal in a few days.
If you can flush the wounds with peroxide, that will prevent infection. Fura-zone can be bought in most horse tack stores, and even at tractor supply. It is actually an equine ointment, but many aviculturists I know use it as a wound treatment for their birds, both indoors and out.
As far as pain relief goes, if the bird is acting like it is in pain, one or two plain aspirin in a gallon jug of water will help to dull the pain. Just pour some into a dish and the bird will take what it needs. Just be sure the aspirin has completely dissolved before giving it to the bird.
Good luck with the bird. I've had that same thing happen and I've always been able to heal them up with the method I just described. You should see results in just a few days.
