Chick bleeding?What should i do?

[Saraliza]

I have a 3 week old chick who is bleeding from her toe.I have her alone, but I don't know what to do next!How long should I keep her alone?I'm afraid that she'll get pecked.We have to 2 sets of chicks in the brooder and one batch is 2 weeks older.

You need to clot it up fast. Use flour if that is all you have. They can bleed to death very easily. You will then need to put blukote on it so the other chicks dont pick at it.

I put cornstarch on chicks who are bleeding. I would keep your chick separate for a few days, just so that she has time to heal without the wound being pecked open by other chicks.
