Silkie's Feet???

[BloominOrchid]

Is this a bad foot on a silkie, or is it bumble foot?
Its soft, and her claws curl to the side on this foot, and she walks on the side.
She doesnt seem to be phased by this at all, and runs with all the other chicks.
(forgive my pictures I just got out of the pool

)

Is that just one one toe, or on the pad of the foot? If it's kinda squisy, it could be full of fluid......

I think you may need to drain that......so sorry to say. Sterilize a needle and puncture that........I might give her some duramayacin in her drinking water for about 10 days too.

just one toe, and its the side of it, almost like its making a cailus (sp?) BC she walks on the side of that toe.
I did get a good look at it and removed some funky feathers that almost looked like they were ingrown, does that happen?

Yes, ingrown feathers can happen.
