Patience is a virtue, especially when your question is not an emergency. 25min is not very long. If the material peels off, it is probably a mixture of poop and feed +/- some paper. Try getting them onto wood chips. You only have to keep them on paper for the first few days when they are figuring out how to eat & drink. If the material does not appear to peel off, try soaking the foot in warm water for a minute or two- it may come off then. True bumble foot takes awhile to show up- unlikely in multiple 2 week old birds- unless you have sharp objects in your brooder.

Hi Capone,
I'm a newbie, so I can't offer any advice. I did see this very interesting thread on Bumblefoot a while back.

Your babies are probably too young to have it though, from what i've heard.
Also thank you for the friendly welcome last week. You replied to my first post about the jelly eggs i was getting from my young pulets. Good luck, I hope your chicks are OK
