The red marks are all on one leg, the only issue I think she has on her other foot (see image with the orange tag round her ankle) is what appears to be bumblefoot. Her perch is honestly really low in my opinion. It’s only 10cm max off the floor. We have one of those nestera chicken coops...

It doesn’t feel hot or anything, fairly normal from what I’ve seen with her. Have checked her whole leg and there’s no evidence of any breaks.

All the others are fine, they’re a lot more skittish than their mum but may have to assess them all individually now. I hope it’s not the case for flu 🥲

Do you think I should give the medication to mum and the other two chicks as well to prevent them from getting it??

On Monday we introduced 3 chicks to our broody hen and all have settled in well. They are approx 4 days old. I’m concerned for one of the chicks as they seem a lot sleepier than the others (the others regularly come out for food and play on top of mum etc) but this one chick prefers to stay...
