Okay thanks. Is the nail just sticking out of a random spot on her belly?

Yes, we originally cut it as close as we could, but it's working it's way out. We are going to attempt to cut it shorter again to make her more comfortable when she walks. We had tried making a 'cap' for it so the end wouldn't be sharp, but nothing we tried stayed. And we were worried whatever we put on, if it fell off we didnt want her eating it.

Thank you. I really hope so too. I originally had 3 of the eggers. One died at 4 days. These 2 are super bonded. Her sister is molting right now and looks terrible lol.

About six of my older hens are going through a really hard molt and look like death, lol. One of the worst finally got through hers and is absolutely beautiful. The raggedy ones not only look horrible but are also very grumpy. They don't want anyone near them and are pecking each other without mercy if they get too close. Grumpybutts, they are!
