today i got home to find my hen with blood all over her face and then i saw a chick that got beat-up on the face with wounds above its cere on its head and on the side of the beak, her chicks are 4weeks old she old attacked the one that appears to be female she has 4 chicks total 3 males and one female, i immediately removed the hen to another cage and left chicks with cock, i tried to clean wounds as much as i could, and the chick appears weak, so i hand fed the chick to see if it gets better, i also placed it under something warm, any other suggestions on what i can do to help it, there are no avian vets nor regular vets near me, nor i have $ at the time to afford some sort of treatment , im guessing the hen attacked the baby because she wants to start laying eggs once again and incubate them, this is her 1st clutch, hopefully tomorrow morning the chick looks stronger and ill hand feed it some more in hopes of it making a full recovery

I'd say leave chicks with Dad, including injured chick if it's not too badly hurt. Dad should keep feeding them, although at 4 weeks they should be starting to eat for themselves. Leave dish of seed for them to try as well. Keep check to see injured chick is okay. I don't think you can do much more than you have. Good luck with hurt chick see how you go.

Hello. Many breeders make a hidey-hole for youngsters as they leave the nest. Part of this problem

 

is that in the wild the young have room to move away allowing the hen to get on with her next clutch

 

without her first round attracting the interest of any passing predator. A hidey is a piece of ply, 6"X8"

 

raised high enough so the chicks can seek shelter under it. Dad feeds them.. Remove them when

 

weaned. Its the price you pay for breeding birds in the unnatural situation of a small cage. Yours B.J..

I did leave chicks with just the dad, and kept the injured budgie on a different cage with a light for warmth but unfortunetly it didnt make it past the night time RIP little one

I am very sorry for your loss. I hope everything is going well with the cock and the remaining chicks.

Everything is well, hes feeding the chicks

Sorry you lost the little one, it could have be shock as well as the injury. Are they nearly fully feathered?
