Is it normal to have some brown on chicken feet?

[iluvmichickens]

I have a couple of new Brahmas. I noticed they have light colored feet and toes, but with some brown along some of the creases. Is this normal? The scales are smooth. They are a few months old and seem to be fine otherwise.

Thank you!

Can you provide a picture?

Sure, here it is. Hope you can make it out! I am adding these two new Brahmas into my current flock and am a little paranoid about bringing disease or something in. What do you think??

Looks like just dirt or something.

I would be sooooooooo happy if it was! But it doesn't wipe off. Seems to be under the skin. And they both have it. Strange!

Just looks like chicken feet to me.

I think it's wonderful that you're so vigilant, but i think you might be looking too closely.

That looks like normal chicken feet to me.

Okay, I feel a little stupid - but happy at the same time. Thanks for your help!

Thanks, I feel better! The worst part is that I made my poor husband go out in the cold at night and help me get the chicken to take pics. Poor guy!
