Chicken has part of talon ripped off

[Amateur-chicken-mama]

I was closing up the chicken coop for the night when I noticed blood dripping down the roost and on the floor- after some inspection I realized which hen it was and that the end one of her talons was ripped off and was bleeding. She is at the bottom of the pecking order so I wouldn’t be surprised if one of the other hens did it. I moved her into our porch so she wouldn’t be with the other chickens and put some anabiotic ointment on the wound, she’s standing up and panting. Anything else I should do? Anything y’all know would be helpful. Also it’s nighttime here, do I need to put a roost in the little pen she’s in or will she be fine sleeping on the floor for one night?

She’ll be fine sleeping on the floor in the pen she is for the night. Keep observing the wound and how it heals.

Ok, thank you

Ok, thank you

Yes update us in the morning to see how it’s doing. A picture would be nice but it’s okay if it’s too late right now. You might need to apply a gauze or soft towel to prevent bleeding, but since you already put the antibiotic I wouldn’t right now.

Okay, I can’t get a good picture right now but I will send one in the morning. I don’t think it’s bleeding as much now, though she keeps walking around and acting stressed out (understandably) which probably isn’t helping

You can give her natural antibiotics just to make her feel better, like oregano leaves

Post some photos please.

It’s morning now and she’s doing okay- shes eating, drinking, and walking around, and isn’t acting in pain.
I attached a picture of the foot.

Looks like a minor injury that will heal on it's own. I would put her back with her flock. Just check it daily.
