Hiya, and welcome to BYC! You did what I'd have done. It should be okay. Those silly chicks! You can put marbles in there so it doesn't happen again.

We use a verticle nipple bottle so it keeps their water clean and chick-free.

You need to get some poultry nutri-drench or rooster booster and some chick electrolytes to give her a boost and help her recover.

the chick is doing better, but i think it hurt her foot when she fell because she cant really walk , she only takes few steps . and sleeps alot

What are you using as a heat source?
Is she pooping? Eating? Drinking?
Have you tried giving her electrolytes in her water?

the chick died i stayed awake for 2 days monitring over it. unfortunately i couldnt save her. whenever i put her down she would climb on my foot and sleep there. when i pt my hand down she would clib on it and cuddle and sleep. it wouldnt stay still when she was alone. the other chics ran away and are healthy . she was the smallest one. i sepratet her from the other because she was ill. she got fine yesterday jumped and walked she lso te and drank. today she was sleepy all the time .
