EMERGENCY! Rooster's toe nail broken and bleeding!

[EasterChickens]

Hello everyone, I was looking at my rooster's toe nail and I think I found out that his toe nail might have fallen off from scratching? It looks like his upper toe nail is still on, while the bottom of the toe nail is off. I can see the little blood dripping from there. I then cleaned his toe nail and applied some Neosporin Antibiotic Ointment onto his toe nail. He has also been limping and he always put one of his foot up. Should I wrap it? If I do, with what? I'm scared that if its not covered its going to get infected. If you guys have any suggestions, please comment ASAP!

Just leave it, but keep an eye on it, it'll heal up.
Have had a few birds lose/tear a toenail like that, all healed up just fine.

Might help to clean it up and disinfect it incase of infection, don’t know if it’s quite enough to need or be able to be bandaged up.

Edit- Just realised when this was posted, how‘d he go?

That’s great! Hopefully he only paints his nails next time instead of taking them off.
