1 1/2 week old Penedesenca chick
Has scabby, warty looking patches on underside of feet. Feet are not mal-formed nor inflamed. Normal feet otherwise. Looks like more patches forming.
Runty chick - smaller than the other Penedesenca that hatched out. Chick chirps a more than others and has had pasty butt twice. I discovered the foot problem upon soaking off the second pasty butt episode. Photo is while wet - they darken down to almost black when dry.
No other chicks have this problem and there are 14 chicks together total.
No other sign of trauma, but a little bit of redness/irritation around the vent and some skin that looks irritated a half inch below vent.
No bleeding.
Eating medicated feed with a little brewer's yeast and chick grit mixed in.
She pooped while I was cleaning her and the poop was normal, correct color and the right consistency, not liquid.
Chick eats and drinks normally.
Housing is a clean 3'x2'x6' stock tank (galvanized tub) with thin layer of Dry Den compressed wood pellets with hay spread on top. Again, none of other chicks have this problem.
Should I isolate or cull? I think I'm going to go ahead and seperate, but I don't want to stress her out if unnecessary.
Any ideas what this may be?
