Farm life. Trying to stop a chickens nail quick from bleeding at 10:30p after family movie night…
•
Not always glamorous, but always thankful we are prepared and have a first aid kit for the flock. With the hubs assistance we were able to patch her up as best we could, and got the bleeding to slow down. Now hopefully the toe nail being wrapped and packed with cornstarch (and antibiotic ointment) the hen will be ok come morning.

Chickens die from blood loss… quickly. They don’t have a lot in their little dinosaur bodies. And there sure was a lot in the coop… I am still worried about her. But we did all we could and she was very ready for bed.
