    My welsummer chick is a dinosaur.

    I think of chickens as little fluffy dinosaurs but my family just doesn't see it. Point of interest: are the scales on chickens' feet dinosaur scales?

    Chicken limping and stepping on own foot.

    If it is bumblefoot, isolate the chick from the rest. Then you'll want to give your bird some chicken-approved antibiotics, like lincomycin and amoxicillin. Whether it is bumblefoot or not, I would wrap the foot in gauze and put a splint. Careful when handling her. Bumblefoot can infect people...

    Delaware chick has a little problem with her feet.

    I can't post a pic from my phone, but my chick's feet are slightly grayish green. Dusky, like you said. I don't mind if her feet are weird, I love her all the same because she's family. She will be ok, right?

    Are green legs bad? I have one delaware chick with green legs, I love her, and I will not breed her.

    Delaware chick has a little problem with her feet.

    She walks and perches and scratches bedding just fine, but her legs have turned blue gray. She is a delaware, and her feet used to be orange. What is going on with this chick?

    Ok, help one more time please. The chick in question who kept getting sick is much better from pasty butt... but this one chick just keeps surprising me. She acts fine, walks perfectly, can perch on my finger, and pecks and scratches at bedding with her feet. When she was one day old, her...
