Strange thing coming out of chickens toe

[liacul]

x2 I agree. @liacul If the bleeding doesnt stop, apply Blood stop powder as needed.

the blood seemed to dry pretty quick but I will definitely invest in some of that for future use.

it fell out, it’s not a worm but she is bleeding a tiny bit. Very weird.

Okay good it's not a worm. Have a picture of it out of the chickens foot?

unfortunately not, I threw it out without thinking. Looks just like how it did in the photo, somehow it was barely in her foot but in there enough to stay stuck until pulled out.

Are you sure you dont have a feather footed breed? All mine have feathers that come in looking weird on their toes, until they are actually in. Then you can tell they are feathers.

Must be a quill, it looks like one and there was a tiny little puff of feather.

I suppose it could be, I’m not sure what breed they are because they are rescues. It fell out though...

Looks like there may have been an infection that worked its way out. That is puss.

Poultry do not produce "puss" the usual way. It is hard, not soft and needs to be taken out manually. Looks like the hens body expressed it out without the infection spreading. You should not have any more problems.
