Hello, I feed them regular chicken feed with corn. Most of my kitchen scraps include: carrot peels, egg shells, tomato peels, onion skins, pasta, rice, and basically any leftover food. Sometimes our food contains meat or chicken bits. Most of them roost but two of the chicks sleep on the floor. The chicks that do roost are the ones with the foot abrasion thought. My roosting poll is a 2x4. When I built my coop I placed it directly on soil and didn’t make a floor for it. I just covered the dirt with a foot of dry wood chips. I am currently using straw and wood chips combined. I place the straw down first then add the chips on top.I’ve been thinking of cleaning everything out and either placing some pavers down or a cement floor. I’ll send pictures of my coop tomorrow. I’m so worried now that two of the four chicks have the same thing on their feet. There has been a lot of rain these past months because of hurricanes and it is really humid here where I live.
It could be and yes I believe they do
