So I put the chickens out this morning and began to clean the coops. One chicken from the other coop jumped in the nest box of the coop I was cleaning which is unusual because they usually get nervous/scared when I clean the coops and go somewhere else. She is just scratching with her feet in the nest box. She has removed the shavings from under her and is scratching the wood at the bottom. I noticed that one of her toes is bleeding right behind the nail/claw. Is there anything I can do to prevent this and/or help make sure her toe is alright? Thanks for any and all help.
