His foot is looking much better, thank you everyone for your help!! The blisters are gone and the swelling just about gone.

Thank you!

Yes I dressed his foot with Vaseline and cloth material. He's in my house in a cat carrier with clean wood chips. But he managed to get the cloth off ugh!

Nevermind guys, I found my answer. Thank you guys so much- I would've never known or even thought of it being frostbite! You all are truly priceless!

That actually makes sense because their bedding was wet and sloppy this morning from dumping their water. There's only 3 chicks and he's the only one with this. And I never saw him sitting in the corner before today

So what can I do about that?

I guess? Poop, dirt, whatever he walked in. I just noticed today when I was giving him a bath

I dry them completely with my hair blow dryer in my chicken spa lol

Yes he's wet but his breast bone sticks out unlike the others so I think he may be correct about being skinny

Ok. So is it normal to be to the side like that and not centered in the body?

I have lavender scented Epson salts, do you think that would be ok? Or I have sea salt

Thank you, that is what I just read also. Any ideas about the breast and breast bone?

You guys remember my chick with the backwards toes? Well this chick is his hatch mate. I only hatched out 4 chicks so 50% now have foot issues. :he This one's foot is swollen so bad he can hardly walk and tries not to put pressure on it. I just now noticed because I was bathing him, he was...

Wait a minute...you're on day 22 and you threw all the eggs out because you saw no movement when candling? :smackYou probably threw away at least one healthy duckling that would have hatched had you let it complete incubation!! For future reference- it's VERY hard to see anything at all but...

Update?
