Chicken has bloody feet.

[chickendreams24]

Okay while the possibilities everyone has told you are very plausible I disagree.

My bet is that the other birds plucked some of her feathers and possibly broke other pin feathers. I believe this because you mentioned her among all other clean legged breeds. Because they don't have feathered legs they think they're abnormal and they may even think they're stuck to her but not supposed to be there. They could even think they're helping her pull off these pesky things stuck to her legs, but who knows what chickens think. I always suggest keeping a minimum of 2 feather footed birds with other chickens so that they have more exposure to it. Same goes for crested breeds, silkies, bearded chickens, and bantams in mixed flocks. The more even the ratio the better it doesn't have to be perfectly even just the more the better.

Now I'm sure once blood was drawn the other birds went nuts and she may have pecked at them too. I definitely would use blue kote to hide and raw areas or dried blood.

Keep an eye out for this in the future to be safe. Also take everyone else's ideas into consideration and check for anything else that could have injured her too.

I hope this helps.

In our chicken first aid kit-we keep an advanced extensive and constantly expanding first aid kit.

I'm sure I'll forget some of it but I'll try.
Blue kote
Homeopathic drawing salve
Styptic powder and pencil
Scalpel
Vet wrap
Neosporin (no pain relief/ anestetic)
Nutridrench
Probiotics/electrolytes
Baby food(great for giving meds and enticing sick or injured birds)
Apple sauce same as above/sugar boost
Apple cider vinegar
Stool softeners (I forget the specific medication) used to treat an impacted crop
Hemherroid ointment (used to treat prolapse)
Gauze
Scissors
Terramycin opthalmic ointment (for eyes)
Tums for calcium
Tweezers

I'm sure I'll think of more tomorrow and probably add them.

I think you may be right. I noticed that she was pecking at her feet yesterday and the fact that it is both feet, it’s hard to believe she could injure them both. I did go out and buy the items that others suggested and she is much better. I have to admit that when I got her, I hadn’t done any research on the breed and had no idea she would have feathered feet. As I increase my flock, I will be more informed and not pick one because it’s cute. . Thanks for the list of items to have on hand. I’ll be sure to get stocked up so I’m better prepared.

You're welcome glad I could help.

I hope she makes a full recovery and I hope as you add more birds you'll consider adding both feather footed and nonfeather footed. If not you may want to consider rehoming her or this may continue to happen.
