I just found one of my hens missing the tip of her middle toe, it's a very fresh injury, she's seemingly unphased by it, but I think I can see some bone exposed?
How do I treat this? I've run it under water, but not scrubbed, and dipped it in flour to help staunch the bleeding.
How vigorously do I scrub at this, if it is exposed? Her feet are pretty dirty to boot
it's kind of muddy out.
Just neosporin and contain her in a crate?
She's also been half broody, should I be concerned about missing any related illness if she is crated and sitting all day, or will that just help since she's resting her foot?
CRUD.
