New to this forum, chickensitting for neighbors who are out of the country until mid-July. Situation: Approx. 2 month old chick has cut her foot pretty badly. Looks very dirty and infected. She's eating and drinking, but doing so while laying down. Not wanting to walk around much, but when she does, she hops on the good foot. Probably cut it yesterday afternoon or evening since she seemed fine and very actively running and scratching then. Have rinsed and cleaned foot to best of my ability. Do I bandage? Separate her from others to keep foot clean? Anti-biotics? Please advise.
