Limping chick - look what I found - Please help

[Kalimak]

I noticed one of the chicks is limping, I took a closer look and I found this hardened black stuff on it's leg. the other side of the leg looks normal, size and color wise - no swelling. I don't know what I'm looking at. Is it dried blood? I have not tried to pry off or clean yet before I get some advice.

It looks like it could be a scab. I wouldn’t peel it off. Clean the area well with a warm wash cloth and put some PLAIN neosporin on it to help the area heal. The poor guy probably got pecked by his brood mates or got into something.
Best of luck with that adorable fuzz baby!
