My RIR Chicken is not able to walk..... Help!

Should I be doing anything else for the injured toenail? The whole nail part came off, leaving just a pink nub.

Wash it off with some water and apply neosporin or any healing ointment.You can wrap it in vet wrap if needed.

I've already applied triple antibiotic ointment and wrapped it. How would I know if it gets infected?

The chance of it getting infected is almost zero.

I really don't know. She might have got it caught on the wire bottom of the cage.

Oh.You might want to put bedding in there so she will be more comfortable.I would also give her scrambled eggs.

**Update
Liberty is able to walk with just some hesitancy, still a little wobbly.
I have been incorporating Epsom salt baths for the last couple of days. She is eating and drinking on her own now. YAY!

Great!

I wouldn't give her baths anymore it may seem good but it may be enough to get a sick bird down on the ground again.

**Update!!!
Liberty's wobble is gone, she is now walking like a pro. She especially enjoys running away from me. Eating and drinking all by herself.
