I noticed this hen was standing like a flamingo, and the one foot she was holding up was curled up under her belly feathers. When I inspected that foot, I found this. Looks like a new nail is coming in but the old one is still attached. But where the two nails meet, there is some blood. I tried gently pulling on the old nail but it didn't come off easily. She's acting normal and is walking around normally for the most part. Is there something I should do to help her? Also, the old nail is jutting out backwards, so that might be why it's irritated, like it's getting in the way.
