I spent the past 21 days here on mangago. When I thought that reading no longer satiated my boredom, I heard loud chicken noises outside indicating a commotion lol (if youre raising a chicken you know what I mean). When I went outside, I found a baby chick that fell in a hole. It got dirty. I helped it get to its mother hen, but she didnt recognized her own son because it was all dirty from the dirt. She started to peck its neck. When I came back, it was all weak, and its neck already has a little blood. I picked it up and decided to "take care" of it. I hope this little one will heal ╥﹏╥
I gave it water to drink using a dropper. When I placed it down on the floor, it went beneath my foot (i was doing an indian sit). So i figured it wanted to rest to regain its energy. So i mimicked what hens do, when they put their chicks inside their wings, i wrapped it with a cloth. So now i decided to let it rest for at least an hour(?), give it water (its too weak to eat), and then put it back in the cloth to rest. I think ill do this routine every hour. If its alive tomorrow, ill try if its strong enough to eat food and then ill update on my progress.

When we find birds that have fallen out of their nests, we usually feed them egg yolks...I know it sounds cabibalistic but the yolk of an egg is where the embryo chick gets its nutrient....When it gets stronger you can feed it chicken scratch again....I bet he'll pull through. He is adorable.
So cute!!!! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧ Hoping for the chick's recovery! Will you be giving it a name? ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
I'm wishing your chick all the best and hope it recovers just fine!
Keep it warm and safe(づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
