no need but if you must then try some antiseptic powder... that young bird should have been put in a spare young bird section when it was weaned, thats if its the same young bird you were on about the other day,which im sure it is  :-/

this can be quite a common occurance , if not watched very carefully , y,birds are farbetter seperated asap , at about 3 weeks old, when  at this age , unfortunately the parents are much more interested in breeding again, , feeding in galley pots and watering in pots in the nest box ,as they grow,  ensures the  yb is well capable of feeding and drinking itself ,at this early age,  unfortunately ,, if scalped very badly , found these yb,s never  recover  good enough to race well, and a very bad scar is left, [off course , depending on the severity of the" scalping" , it is a horrible sight, but if seperated or boxed in a warm place ,  the wound  can dry up and the yb recover ,  very quickly , leaving nature to take its course quickly , ,,,,,unfortunately birds nesting  on the floor, become the worst targets as babies ,, good luck with the y.b
