Orange Nail?

[MotherHen75]

My Amearicauna, Joey, has this Orange nail. All her other nails are fine, did she damage this one and it’s healing? I just noticed this i’m not sure how long she’s had it. Should i be worried?

Its probably just healing from being damaged and a bit of swelling
Nothing to worry about

It doesn't look infected.
Maybe the outer hard keratin shell released from the quick in an injury. Maybe she jammed the tip of the nail into a wall or something jumping down?
Is she limping?

I think it would look worse if it had been caught in something

Yes, it probably would.
I think she may have jammed the tip into a wall or some other solid object jumping down. Not catching it on anything.

Our house is made of bricks, she could’ve hit her foot on the stairs (also made of bricks) to our door.
