Please help need advice! Baby chick badly hurt

[SmiYa0126]

Do you guys think that Miracle will survive?

Yes, she will.

Mira seems to be ok but now that we put the stuff on it’s showing and I’m worried Enola might peck it!

Here are some more pictures. There’s also a wound in front where her crop is but some skin is still attached so I got off some of the fluff that was just hanging off her chest because it was just flopping around.

I’m not doubting your observations at all, but is there any chance baby is a Naked Neck?

I don’t have a naked neck so I don’t think so. Here is a picture of her before

 

[Farmgirl283420]

Yes, she will.

Phew you saying that makes me feel better!

Enola is pecking at her chick’s wound

Both mommy and chick want each other but Enola keeps pecking at it. I need to cover it with something… would peck no more work?

I haven't used that, I think this stuff is for feathers. Tea tree oil might burn on an open wound. @MysteryChicken would blukote work here?

Can you separate mama and baby so they can see each other but mama can't peck? Put mama in a crate maybe that baby can't get into? Or vice versa? Otherwise you may have to separate the two to prevent cannibalizing.

I covered it in powder that is supposed to stop blood. She went under mommy and I turned the lights off but when she drinks or eats her head goes down and that’s when Enola pecks at it. I think I might have to take little Mira away tomorrow. Will Enola get over it? They are both calling to each other and I know I’m being emotional but it’s so sad
