Hi all!
Chicken mom newbie here. One of my 5-week olds seems to have cut her toe by her toenail. I noticed a little blood in the brooder and there is blood on one toe next to her toenail (like it got caught on something?). The bleeding has stopped. My question is - do I do anything? Part of me wants to clean it to help prevent infection but then I also don't want to open up the wound and start the bleeding again. The other chickens don't seem to be pecking at it or anything.
What should I do?
Thanks!
Katie
