So I posted a few days back about our new chicks, thanks for the reply. The RIR that I thought was acting a little sickly is still doing ok, but he definitely isn’t moving as quickly as the rest. Today I realized that his foot is swollen. He’s barely over a week old and I’ve not really heard of bumble foot in a chick that young, but what do you think?

I have never experienced bumble foot on chicks..... I would soak that fuzz baby’s feet in a shallow warm epsom salt bath (supervised, of course to prevent drowning) and then apply some plain neosporin on it for a couple of days and monitor for improvement.
Best of luck and be well! ❤️
 
I don't see a wound(bumblefoot is an infected wound).
Definitely swollen tho and a couple odd bumps there.
Were chicks home hatched or purchased?
Soak might help
