My Chicken Has A Swollen Foot

[NotXencie]

As a little chicken he had always had a little limp and now he’s an adult but soon I suddenly saw his leg swelled up! I’m extremely worried, please help!!!

I am sorry your first post is about a medical issue.

Soooo...
How old is he?
Can you get a clearer picture of the bottom of the foot?
How does his other foot look?

His toes look odd to me.....maybe they are deformed

I suspect he has bumble foot which is treatable.

A clear picture of the bottom of that foot will help identify the issue.

He is one year old, he does have a defect, he was born without a toe, I’ve experienced to much I’ll in my chickens and am very happy to hear that Bumblefoot is treatable, I put pictures of his foot

I do not see the typical bumble I expected.

It is very swollen in the center.
Have you heard of Epsom salt soaks?

Epson salt soak is just what it sounds like.
Warm water not hot and not cold and Epsom salt mixed in. Soak his feet for about 20 minutes and gently scrub with an old toothbrush to clean his feet it also softens the scales.

I will tag a couple more folks that may have an idea why he is so swollen.

Can you have a look at this young roosters swollen foot?

I really hope that swelling turns out to be nothing to worry about.

The soaks won't cure him but may make him more comfortable.

I agree, I would soak the foot in epsom salts, see if that helps reduce swelling. It's hard to tell what's going on there, maybe the back to is missing a nail too? Could be some infection there.

It is hard to tell.
Is red circle the back toe?
What is in the blue circle?

I'm "thinking" red is the back toe and blue is his spur?

These pictures look typical of frostbite damage. Usually the foot or toes fall off, but it looks like either the damage was not fully through the foot. I would do the Epsom salts soaks for 30 minutes daily to see if they help.
