I'm chick sitting for a friend and they just let their chickens (13 weeks old) free range and they said to just let them out during the day and put them inside at night. (i have chickens too) Today was the first day and when we went out to let them out they were already out and all of them were fine except for one Silkie. He looks like he got attacked and them left alone. We brought him homw because we didn't want any of the other chickens hurting him and he looked very lethargic. I'm boiling him a egg now and I gave him sugar water. He has not eaten so do you think I should force feed him? He did drink a little.
I have some goat yogurt I could give him too (homemade). Should I try cutting the feathers around the areas with dry blood on them? What should I do about the swelling on his face? I opened that eye and it looks fine his other side is good too.
Please help

Little bit of blood on his wing.
His unharmed side of face.
