Does anybody know what these spots are?

I saw Edith favoring her foot. When I picked her up landlocked, it didn't seem to cause her pain to touch it. There is a small black spot on the end of the nail too. Is this a spot of frost bite? They have 2x4s as roosts and they all sleep on their feet. Nobody else has it. It's not swollen like all of the bumble foot pictures look, and it's not on the bottom of her foot also.

Thanks for any advice.

I would say it's a bruise. Did she get her foot hung in something or perhaps a door got shut on the foot?

If it were mine, I would watch her for a couple of days to see she improves on her own.

If she gets picked on, the limping worsens, she becomes lethargic or is not eating/drinking, then limiting her activity and giving her extra care would be in order.

Just my thoughts:)
