Is this normal, the red line on shank and between toes. If not what can I do. Thanks kk

Can you post some photos of the toes?
Is this a rooster?

One toe looks a little rough - what do the bottom of the feet look like?

You can soak his feet/legs in a warm epsom salts bath and apply some vaseline or A+D ointment.

Usually caused by hormones. My roosters are always red on the feet like that in the spring and fall.

I hope the pics are better, I'm so scared they have something my other rooster has it and a hen also. Is this serious. kk

No, I don't think it is serious. The scales on the one toe looks a bit raised was what I was asking about.

The redness, as mentioned earlier is usually hormones, you can see it easier especially in roosters that have light colored legs (my rooster has white legs and his turns red too). For the feet, soaking them and applying some ointment/oil may help with the scales.

Yup it just the natural pigment (Might be a sunburn as well, I've read, but I don't think that's what it is.)
