black spots on my roosters toes?

[Cavendish Chickens]

He's limping, so it obviously hurts. It's on his right foot, on the toes. What is it, and how do we care for it?

I would soak the foot in warm soapy water and maybe a little Epsom salts if you have it, if only to see what is under there, and clean the skin. You might try doing a search for bumblefoot; this could be what it is. It also looks like there may be a small cut at the base of one toe. Is something injuring his feet, that he is walking on?

wow foot rot ouch i'd google how to get rid of it or go to chicken deaseses

The majority of what you're seeing in the pics (bad pics) is mud and straw. I'll have to get better pics from after I washed that dirt off. We found black spots on his toes. Doesn't look like bumble foot though. But I'm not really certain. I'm still a newbie.
