Due to some cloud rotation in our area, our yard barn blew into our coop & run last night. My husband went out in the storm & rescued all 5 of our chickens but one of the buffs had a toe injury.
We set up a pen in the garage for the girls last night & cleaned the toe with sterile saline spray & antibacterial spray. Then covered with gauze & tape. This morning we set up a makeshift run/coop as the one we had received pretty sever damage. Then I repeated the foot cleaning process. Will this wound heal on its own if we keep cleaning & covering it? First photo is right after it happened. Second photo is this morning before cleaning/covering. We have had chickens for 1 year now & this is our first injury. Thank you for all advice!

Hi.

...Personally, if ever I had no Cade Oil in my house, then I would just put her feet in mix of warm water, Olive Oil, and honey during 30 minutes, at least twice a day if possible...
(If 30 minutes are too complicated, 5 minutes would also work...)
After what, I would put raw Olive Oil directly on her wounded foot, and then isolate her in a small run so she could not worsen her injury, but also so the other chickens would not hurt her more...

For what it's worth : I'm used to this method to heal chickens' bloody wounds, and to this day, it has always worked...! (Easy, cheap, and natural...!)
(Cade Oil alone would also work splendidly, but I don't think you would have any...?)
 
I think your hen's toe will heal fine as long as you keep it clean and covered for now. Use what you have it sounds like it will work fine.
That's wonderful no one else was injured.
