Bleeding chick

[BethBerry]

Hi,
I noticed my (6 day old) chick has some blood on her wing. I’ve attached a picture. What do you think could be the cause and what should I do?
Thanks,
Beth

Looms like someone pulled a blood feather

One of the chicks pecked her/him maybe? What do I do about it?
Thanks,

I don't think you need to really do anything. Just make sure it's not dripping blood and that no one is pecking it

I think a feather pin has been pulled out. I had a similar experience. I monitored it and it was fine. Don't worry.

I also think that she broke/damaged a blood feather. Just keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn’t get infected. If it does you may need to have a vet pull it out, but hopefully it doesn’t get to that point and it just gets better with time
