If she's pecking at it, a bandage might be a good idea. Otherwise, I'd just monitor and let it heal naturally.

Have you considered using liquid bandage instead? It might protect the quick without needing a full wrap.

My 4-month-old Easter Egger lost a toenail, and the exposed quick keeps getting bumped and bleeding. Ive been cleaning it and using Vetericyn and styptic gel but didnt bandage it, thinking it might hinder her walking or roosting. After a few days, she re-injured it, so now Im second-guessing.
Would it be better to wrap it for protection or leave it uncovered to heal naturally? Id love some advice!
I had a hen with a similar injury, and she did fine without a bandage. I just cleaned it twice a day and kept an eye on it.
