Wounded Toes

[pixiechix]

This must have happened last night. We have no idea how this happened and all the other girls are fine. We've been treating all day with frequent epson salt baths and hydrogen peroxide. This picture is after the peroxide so it's a little white. The middle toe tip seems to be gone and there is green all around the base. The other hens are leaving her alone and not pecking. They are almost 7 weeks. What else can we do? Please help these newbies!

I highly recommend that you start giving penicillin G procaine injections. Here's a link, post #2 and scroll down:
