I have a chick whose leg and foot is swollen it’s even a different color than the other leg nails included. She tries to peck at it so I have it wrapped. I’ve did a salt and water soak, antibiotic cream, and the vetericyn any other suggestions or does anyone know what’s causing it??

She may have sprained it or broken a bone. It can take a couple of weeks for an injury to get better. But be sure to examine the whole leg in case there is a hair, string or leg band on the leg cutting off circulation. Those have been known to cause problems.
