Foot Injury (Pic for Reference)

[808momof4]

What should I do to treat this foot injury? I've moved her into a separate brooder with a red lightbulb so she doesn't pack at it. I held her and stopped the bleeding. But it won't take much to start up again. I'm not sure how this happened.

It looks like the bone is exposed. Have you tried antibiotics or small bandages?

Has it stopped bleeding?
Wash it off good.
Is she pecking at it?
How old is this bird?

Doesn't really look too bad:

No bone exposed. It has stopped bleeding. I provided clean pressure to it to stop the bleeding. She's not picking at it (I put her in a brooder with a red light). She's sitting on a perch just fine separated from the other birds with just one friend to keep her company. She's 4.5 weeks old.

Sounds good!
Just so you know corn starch is good for a blood stop.
How did it happen?
Are these two in sight of the others?
Best of cLuck getting them all back together!
I'd do that as soon as you can.

They are back together now. She seems fine. I have no idea how it happened.

That's good!
Have had many bloody toes and combs here, those toes can get stuck in lots of places, no need to panic they usually heal up just fine with no intervention.

Thank goodness. I think it was just the blood that scared us. LOL she's great today!

It is scary!
Have seen smears, splatters, and big drops in the coop form cut on toe or comb...
....often never find out where it came from.
