Hi everyone!
I recently hatched 6 lil chicks and today I noticed one of them has injured its beak.
I will attach photo to this post.
I cleaned it with some water and isolated him from rest of the chicks as they were pecking at it and possibly making it worse. There wasn't blood or anything in the brooder. He's also eating and drinking like normal and doesn't seem to be in any pain or lethargic.
Only problem now is I'm not sure how serious this injury is? Also the little chick seems very upset that he's not with his siblings and keeps trying to jump into the other box. I'll attach a photo of the setup we have for them
