Black toe

[Sandstorm495]

Come to think of it, yes it could be dirt. Could you post another more close-up picture please Poultree?

It looks dirty to me too. Look at the bottom of the foot for a swollen foot pad and a black dot--that would be bumblefoot. If nothing there just let her rest the foot in a crate for a few days, give her vitamins, and she will probably be fine. It may be a sprain.

Good morning! Quick update to let everyone know Tan is back to normal, yippee! I guess the black toe was just dirt.....lol, and either a small infection or sprain that crippled her as you suggested. She was so sweet after the treatment, she came up to say thank you.....adorable. I'll do a better job of taking close ups for next time (hopefully there won't be another time), but in the meantime, here she is fully recovered. Thanks again, BYC is awesome.

No problem glad to help!

Glad she is better. By the way, she looks like a salmon faverolles to me instead of a brahma. You might google them to see what you think. I have several--very sweet chickens and roos.
