Sores on chicks feet, please help

[jeremy1122]

Hi everyone,

I have a chicken who has some scabs on the tops of her feet, I am new to raising chickens so I'm not sure what it is or what to do about it. A couple days ago her feet were a little swollen, but don't seem to be anymore. She doesn't seem to be limping. She seems to be a little lethargic today, still walking around but resting more than usual. We did catch her standing in a fire ant pile pecking at the ants and they were crawling on her yesterday. Not sure if that has anything to do with it or if it's something else entirely. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, we are starting to get a little worried about it. Thanks in advance. I am attaching pictures of her feet.

I would guess that th fire ants have caused the bite marks on her legs. Here is some reading, containing many threads of advice on fire ants: https://www.backyardchickens.com/newsearch?search=ant+bites
