We are currently busy taking care of an injured baby. I thought the injury was very serious. The baby chick doesn't seem to know that it's injured. The injury is external and internal. The baby got a hole punctured in its lower back. The puncture also damaged the intestine(?) and it would be really easy to get an internal infection from the toxic leakage. The chick is only a few days old. The wound was only open for about an hour. It has been sealed ever since. We are giving lots of anti-biotic with its meals and lots of hope the rest of the time. The best advantage of being an injured baby, is that there is so much growing still to do that the body will overcome some severe adversity whereas a full grown bird with the same injury might not survive.
I don't have any pictures of the injured one...but here are some other birds that are beautiful and radiate positive vibrations. That's what the injured one needs...maybe that's what I need, too!
