I have 31 RIR and 12 Silkie chicks, and 3 ducklings, all about the same age, housed together. They have dry bedding that is replaced every week but fresh bedding is added. Wet bedding is removed, the waterer is also elevated slightly on some shelving material to keep the water cleaner, and the chicks don't step on soggy bedding. While cleaning out the bedding today, I gave everyone a look over to make sure they were doing good, and everyone WAS doing good, except I was concerned by the sight of this chick's foot, having had to recently put down my beloved Cornish X hen due to bumblefoot......
None of the other chicks have this, the yellowy areas are very firm, and the scales seem to have grown out like hair. Doesn't seem to be bumblefoot, but who knows? The miscoloured and hard area looks like scales from the foot that grew long....
I don't know if the image properly attached, I'm on mobile, if it didn't I'll edit it in ASAP or next post has the images...
