Help! Accidentally cut my chicken's claws too short. Now it won't stop bleeding!

Believe it or not, chickens can loose LOT of blood and live.
Get the bleeding to stop using the above methods, and direct pressure to the "wound".

I gave mine electrolytes after she got attacked by a hawk and lost a insane amount of blood, and it lived just fine. I mean crazy amounts of blood, I have no idea how it had any blood left in it.
 
For future reference, I believe shining a light through the nail might allow you to see where the quick is before cutting.

I'd pack it again with whatever you used to stop it. Then leave her somewhere dark in a small cage so she wont move around much.

Thank you everyone, I've followed your orders, She's in a small cage with a bucket of water (plus some sugar) and a feeder full of feed. I will go and put some electrolyte in her water too if you think that would help. I'm glad that there's a high chance of her surviving, I love this little hen too much to lose her. Here are the photos from yesterday:

I feel your pain. Mine lost so much blood because I stopped a hawk attack, it was mauling her when I stopped it.
Unfortunately I was away from home the day before when the hawk killed her sister DeDe(my favorite).
