It is an infection on the bottom or between the toes of a chickens food. When they injury their foot in lets in infection and can cause bumblefoot. I believe it is a staph infection???? Anyhoo is starts as a dark scab on the foot, most times on the bottom pad, and when you remove it there is a "plug" of infection inside the injury.
