It sounds like others are experiencing the same thing you are... I'm sorry I can't find much more information on it. I really hope your chick pulls through.

Nope, its none of that. Her feet are swollen tight. Her bedding is new and I got it from tsc, she is on it right now... maybe ill put her on a blanket. tomorrow ill give her a warm bath with epson salt.

When you say "swollen tight" do you mean that your chick can't move her toes at all? In the photos, they don't look swollen to me, or overly swollen, though they do look infected, that is certain.

It could be genetic. Sorry, I'm at a loss.. I hope someone will chime in soon with some help!

Best wishes to you.
