So you think that's why his breast bone sticks out so much? That would make sense. But he's the only one like that, maybe he's being kept away from the food?Yes. The bird looks quite skinny though.

Possibly. Coccidia can cause weight loss too---it's hard to say.So you think that's why his breast bone sticks out so much? That would make sense. But he's the only one like that, maybe he's being kept away from the food?
No, I think frostbite due to location on the foot and what looks like blister remnants and pus between the toes. That's quite consistent with frostbite in my experience. Lack of entirely black toes is strange, though, so who knows... how long have these symptoms been present?Maybe you think frostbite due to color? These are bresse chicks who have blue legs and feet. They are a grey color now but will turn blue as they age
Yes I will go get him and get better picsNo, I think frostbite due to location on the foot and what looks like blister remnants and pus between the toes.

Bumblefoot is not something I am thinking at this point; that presents as swelling in a location and internalized pus or a plug visible. This seems more scabby and it looks like the skin is starting to lift away from the foot?
Any chance you could get clearer images, including bottoms of the feet?
Also note frostbite can occur at temperatures not much at all below freezing, especially if the bedding is damp and the bird does not roost. Lack of ventilation can contribute too.
Yes he's wet but his breast bone sticks out unlike the others so I think he may be correct about being skinnyI assume we are looking at a wet chick ? they always look skinnier when wet
Yes a full crop will stick out to the side like that .
Bumble foot is usually on the bottom .
If it is swollen he may have injured it ..or look for a cut to see if there may be a infection
It should smell good after ..use a little see if he tolerates it
Great, thank you.Yes I will go get him and get better pics
