Question
i have a hen who got her nail partly off it is bleeding but all im doing is putting some disinfectent and toilat paper but what else should i do?

Answer
Try to stop the bleeding and get her somewhere where she will be able to walk on clean stuff, eg. not on mud or dirty ground etc. DO NOT use any disinfectant on her unless it is given to you by your vet. The only thing I can tell you to use is salt and water, and this works fine.
