my six week chick had a little accident with the pen coop door. she got her foot caught in it while it was being shut and now it's swollen, bruised and lacerated. She's not standing on it.
I've separated her and brought her inside in a box, with food and water, disinfected the foot and bandaged it. How can I tell if the foot is broken? or what else I can do?
I feel a little useless at the moment.. I haven't had chicks or chickens before, and don't know what I should be feeding her, if I need to do it by hand.
If there is anyone on line to chat with right now. I would love some advice??
