hey yall, yesterday i found one of my chicks hiding behind the waterer in the brooder, picked her up and her the back of her neck was a bloody mess, skin gone, muscle exposed. i have no clue what happened, but i guess maybe she was trying to squeeze out of one of the smaller bars in the dog cage im using as a brooder, got her head stuck. and then i imagine the other 4 chicks relentlessly pecked her. she was trembling, in shock maybe. I separated her and washed out the gaping wound w water (dont have bactine as other posting recommended) i thought peroxide, but my wife thinks thats a bad idea. Is it bad to wrap it w gauze? this morning she is still alive. d'y'all think theres anything else i could be doing to help her chances of survival? thnx so much for your time!
