Scratch marks and an inflamed foot?

Do you have other chicks in the brooder??

Yes. I have three chicks in total I'm raising. I am in the city and we are only allowed three in my town

Could they have accidentally(or purposely) hurt her??

Accidentally maybe. They adore each other so not on purpose. They cry when they're separated as well

 

[Chickenmom283]

I see. Is she any smaller than the others? That might explain it!!

She is. But not by much. She's also the most docile and affectionate of them

Hm... It could have just simply been a fluke, she caught it on something, or was trying to clean herself and accidentally hurt herself.

I wouldn't be surprised if her foot was just stepped on by accident and then some little claws possibly caught her foot
