My hens toe is bleeding....

Tape it up with medical tape tight, not band aid or scotch tape separate from the flock for few min. Until it dries up then let it be, as long as she’s not bleeding profusely she will be ok making sure other hens will not peck on the wound.
 
Yes, she got out this morning and did something while I was trying to catch her. I will try that, I tried cornstarch also to see if that will stop the bleeding.
 
Toe injuries are fairly common, if you have some Terramycin spray a good spray would not only help to prevent infection but it will deter the others from pecking at it. I personally wouldn't wrap or tape it unless you are going to isolate her and keep a check on her.
