Broken toe nail on chicken
« on: September 21, 2010, 19:07 »
Noticed one chick was bit aloof from others today turns out she's broken a nail. There is a bit of blood so she must have broken it low enough down to cause it, boyfriend says it looks like the tops come off (I haven't seen it myself as at work) does she need to see a vet or can we bathe it to clean it and help her ourselves. She can't get round as well as the others so we making sure she got food and water close by. Is diluted tcp any good or will it hurt her, or savlon? Any other suggestions to help her as figure it will take few days to heal and stop hurting. Thanks

Salt water is always a good and cheap antiseptic, give her a regular footbath till it heals.

Ps make sure they don`t drink it as it can kill.
