blue/black toe... picture included

is this just a multicolored foot for this chick??? or is there something seriously wrong with her toe?

Sorry noone has responded until now. It looks like it might be bruised. Is the chick limping? You can put tape on it if you think it is injured. There is no swelling. Perhaps it is just bruised. Hope that helps.

she uses it just fine and acts like nothing is wrong with it?? thats why I wondered if perhaps it was just a different coloring of the foot?? is that possible?

what breed of chicken is it?

my 1st polish started out with yellow legs but i noticed that they started turning to the slate color over a few weeks after he hatched.

she is a Cinnamon Queen... so half RIR and half silver wyandotte I think it is, right?

I think it's fine. I have one chick running around that has white tips on both his middle toes. Sometimes they get funky toes like that. Cute I think!

 

[sheeshshe]

it appears fine... its just really weird looking! well she's weird anyways... she's the stinky chick. she smells SO gross!

Some of my mixed breed chicks have multi-colored toes, too. I don't think there is anything wrong with your chick's toe - it doesn't look swollen or inflamed and it doesn't bother her, so it is probably fine.
