Foot scratches

[aBirdNerd]

I have noticed scratches on most of our chickens' feet. should I worry too much about it? They are about a centimeter long, a few millimeters deep. Sorry for those who are gagging now.

What is you brooder set up? What bedding do you use?

 

[aBirdNerd]

I use pine wood shavings

 

[Aunt Angus]

And don't worry about grossing us out. Itll take a lot more than foot scratches to do that!

 

[Aunt Angus]

In use pine wood shavings

What do you keep them in? Is there anything in the brooder they might be hurting themselves on accidentally?
