Chicken has lost a claw - what should I do?

[scorpius]

I bought a bottle of purple stuff (gentian violet) online, it says 1% aqueous on the label. Am I supposed to dilute it, or use it neat?

Use it as it comes

It is. I think the story is that the medical route is how super glue came about. A way of sticking skin that didn't need staples or stitches. I had my horse superglued back together after he wrapped himself in a gate and stripped everything off from his knee down apart from the tendon. In fact I was buying it in bulk at one point due to the horrible process involved in getting the leg back to its correct shape. For filmic reference on super glue see Dog Soldiers.

Ouch, poor horse (& you). My sister had superglue used by vet, many years ago, when hers went into a cattle grid & tore loads of skin off legs, it was awful- (could do with a vomiting smilie here).
Fortunately, horse ended up sound & went on for many years. She was a fruitcake though.
