Please help! Hen injured 2 week old chick.

[jgoodman]

Help! I was trying to introduce my two week old chick to my broody hen (also its mama) hoping she would accept it as I'd read about online. At first it seemed to go well. I put him (I think it's a roo) under her and she tucked him in and sat back down. But then he started to move around a bit and popped out from under her wing she pecked him on its throat and feathers went flying. I scoped him up immediately and looked him over and noticed she took a chunk of skin off of the chicks troat. Its not bleeding but I can see straight to its neck muscles and such. I'm in tears. What can I do to keep him healthy and help him heal? Please feel free call me. I'm desperate and need to leave for work soon. 407-489-6074

So sorry to hear that! I would wipe him with peroxide so the hole doesn't get infected.
