Yes, that is what I would do. Sorry.

It's been done, yesterday we couldn't tell, today we could see it clearer. Poor girl... anything we can do to prevent this from happening to another hen?

Trim the tom's toenails. Provide the hens with saddles. Most importantly do not allow the toms to have access to the hen's nests and do not keep multiple toms with a few hens. I try to keep at least 4 to 5 hens for one tom. A single tom can easily handle at least 10 hens.

Thanks, will get some saddles and do some nail trimming. Lesson learned
