One of my peahens broke off the nail on the back toe. Is there anything to put on it? She barely walks on it and tries to hop around on one foot. Thanks!

corn starch will stop the bleeding, it will grow back out, mine loose a nail every once in a while.
 Do you know how it happened?

Thanks for your help! My other hen was chasing her for some reason and it broke in the process. It looks like it has stopped bleeding.

I've cleaned many ripped off toenails (usually on my lunatic Guineas) and then used a small piece of TP or tissue and a few drops of superglue to help cover up the raw nerves and keep germs out until the nail grows out some.

Gotta make sure the glue has dried before you put the bird down tho... and that you don't accidently glue yourself to the bird, lol
