Limping chick help required

[Souvik]

Hi all, love from India.. altho I am following backyard chicken from the past 3 years this is the frist time I am posting.... I bought 4 days old 2 chicks breed :- karaknath (even the flesh of this chicken is black) now the age is 9 days I found that one of the chick is limping... with a swollen in one of his foot however there is no cut or wounds.. after reading the threads, its seems its big foot however if the members can help me out by looking at the picture what is the issue or confirm how to fix this of my cute chick will be of great help...

It is good to hear from your!

Oddly that looks a bit like bumblefoot but the chick is very young for that.

It might be a puncture wound. Have you soaked the foot in warm water with a bit of dish soap(like dawn)?

I would also watch it for festering.
