Hello! Hopefully this is not an emergency, but...I noticed the tip of my chins toe on her rear foot has a small amount of dried blood and a little swollen. Looks like she broke a toe nail or something. I will include a bad photo of it, best I could get at the moment...she despises being held. Any advice would be great. Thank you.

I'm no expert but it looks a Lil sore you need to watch for infection etc. I'm hoping a more experienced member will come in with real advice I follow the if in doubt call the vet method with my girls.
 
Do you have any blue kote? You could dab show of that on to help prevent infection. It doesn't look bad but I would inspect the cage thoroughly to find what caused the injury. Watch her eating and activity. Any changes means immediate vet visit
