Keep cleaning it! Put some corn flour on the wound- or any flour- to try and block the bleeding.

If you have a TSC they should have quick stop. Maybe the flour would work.

I know they use super glue in the hospitals now to repair wounds. I am sure it will burn!!! But, do not know if it would safe for a chicken.

should I seperate her omg she keeps picking up her leg.

and when you think it has stopped bleeding, wash in warm water and wipe with a clean towel. If it does not stop bleeding continue with the flour. When it does stop, your main aim is to prevent infection.

Seperate her quickly. You do not want any picking. she will pick up her leg, it will hurt to put weight on it.

If the others see blood they might keep picking at her foot and she will probably do the same.

I wouldn't put her back out until she can walk properly and the bleeding has stopped.

Seperate. Clean wound. Put flour on wound. Wait until it stops bleeding. Clean again. If still bleeding repeat all steps. Once it has stopped keep seperate for a while and re-introduce to flock.
