Hey there!
I went to put the chickens up for the night and was looking at their feet (because I am mortified of bumblefoot… so they get checked a couple times a week) and I noticed there was dried blood and maybe minimal swelling on one of the girl’s feet. It looked like the tip of the feather was still in her food but the feathery part of the feather had been pulled out (new chicken mom here, obviously). Is this a broken blood feather? If so what do I do? She is acting her normal usual self. I assume it happened today, but for all I know it could’ve happened a few days ago. I have vetericyn plus I can spray or should I just leave it alone since she’s acting fine? Thank for all the help!!
