Bumble foot on baby chick?

[Salt Creek Coops]

I noticed this little girl laying around in the grass while the others ran around her. She will sort of hop on one leg to get around but definitely not unless she has to. There was a piece of shaving in her foot. I pulled it out and cleaned it well. Not sure what else to do. Any suggestions are great!

Maybe separate her into a box, or dog kennel with some towels on the bottom for a softer floor while it heals. Do you have any vetwrap?

I don’t have any vetwrap. I could put her in a kennel tho! The other brooder house is so far from her sisters. She just cries and is already exhausted. It’s hot here in Texas I don’t want her to be stressed extra.

If she's too stressed being alone you can either put another chick in with her or give her a stuffed animal to cuddle with. I hope someone can help with the injury!

Can you get some clearer photos? Is that just stuck on debris or is the foot mushy from infection?

Seems to be blistered or something. I couldn’t get my phone camera to focus very well. I can try again in the morning.

Would like to see more photos, but if it looks blistered, then I would clean the foot with hibiclens (chlorhexidine) or betadine. Dry it, then apply a very thin layer of triple antibiotic ointment. Put a little gauze pad over the ointment, then wrap the foot.

It's best to keep them on clean dry bedding even with the foot wrapped, but if she's really stressed and you have the foot wrapped, then consider putting her back with her group for the night or near her group with maybe another docile chick so she will settle down.
Heat is not good on chicks, so see that she's able to get to water and is staying hydrated.

I cleaned it and put her back for the night. I’ll clean again and put ointment on her in the morning. I think putting her in a crate inside the coop will be best. She will have her food and water and clean bedding AND her sisters. Lol thank you for your help!

Here is a picture. Looks better this morning for sure!

It does look better. Here's a fairly recent thread that has good info on treating a chick. I think it would apply here. I suggest you read the whole thread but pay particular attention to the posts #10 and #12 by @Hen Pen Jem good info there with some treatment options. Though your chick only has one foot affected and it's likely because of debris being stuck on, it's well worth a read.
