Does anybody have experience with very young chicks and bumblefoot? I recently hatched a chick for the first time, but it was the only chick that made it so I went to a rural king and got 3 chicks so it would have friends but 2 of the 3 seem to have small bumblefoot scabs on their feet. I soaked...
