Weird brown stuff on chick’s nails

[Antomongis]

My 4 day old male chick is seemingly very healthy but has weird brown spots at the ends of each of his toes. He bites his toes a lot so he may be in pain. I will attach a picture of what I am talking about. Could this be bumble foot? I have never seen that look like this before. I do not think that it is just his normal coloring because thee brown spots are bumped up and very hard and rough.

Can you get a clear photo in brighter light?

Does it come off? It just looks like she stepped in poop.

It doesn’t come off. He is very bothered when I try to pick it off.

Have you tried soaking his feet in water?

Here is a better photo. It is on both feet but just some nails.

I didn’t yet but I will. I will let u know if there’s any progress. Would it be good to do epsom salts in warm water or just plain water?

It's dried poop.
