Was this toe broken? Dislocated?

[GermanKennhuhn]

Hi folks
My EE has an odd toe, and I’m just curious what caused this. It does not bother her, no sign of bumble foot, and feels like the joint, not fleshy.

TIA

Could it be that her toe is deformed?

Hmm, that is very odd. I really have no idea. Maybe experts like @Wyorp Rock @Overo Mare can shed some light?

Possibly? This is the first time I’ve noticed it.

It would be hard to know what happened there. Could have broken it at some point? Maybe. Could have been caused by something else.
If it doesn't bother her, then I wouldn't worry about it.

What does the bottom of the foot look like? Bumble can manifest under the scales as a raised bump without visible redness. I've had this happen with a hen who got bumble on the top of her foot.

Thanks for the reply. It doesn’t bother her, I was just curious.

Thanks for replying! It looked normal to me, but I can try to get some pictures later.

Here’s the pic.

It feels solid, like the joint.

Top and side looks normal. I'd just monitor her for any changes and do nothing for right now. Keep us up to date if anything changes.
