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 filthy.
Anyone know what this is and how/can I help him?
Also, his breast bone sticks out a lot more than his hatch mates??
His breast feels like a ball under the skin I can move around??
His breast is to the side not middle??
Are these genetics issues?

Looks like Bumblefoot to me I would try soaking it’s feet in with some epson salts.
