Our chicks hatched yesterday and I noticed today that this little one has a toe that's falling off. I didn't notice anything wrapped around it yesterday when I transferred her. What would be the cause of this and how can I help her? I put some iodine on it when I noticed because that's what I had on hand.

Maybe it got caught on something in the incubator or brooder? At this point I think just keeping it infection free is the main thing and making sure it heals appropriately.
