I just got this guy like 2 weeks ago, and i have been noticing that he is kinda "ginger" on his feet. Meaning that he usually favors one leg, and hasn't really ran, or moved alot outside since he has been in my care. I noticed when i first got him i noticed his "webbing" between his toes was red, and the red was on part of his leg as well. I have never had a rooster before, and i have seen that testosterone reddens the skin, so i was just assuming that this was the cause of his redness. I have not had cause for concern, but now im kinda wondering if he is uncomfortable on his feet.. I tried to grab one of his feet while holding him and he DID NOT seem to enjoy that.. So now im freaked out, hes my favorite and i DO NOT want to lose him, or have him threatened in any way.. what is going on? Is this normal? Anyways heres the pics..

Heres what i could get of the undersides. I had to do this myself and Ed didn't appreciate being in such an awkward position for such a long time.. So yeah, here's what i got..

Looks swollen to me but I don't see the blk scab that usually says bumble foot. Hopefully someone else with experience with this will be able to help. I have 2 roos but haven't seen this,
 
Hes still a little ginger on them, but improving. He waddled around ALOT today.. I dunno maybe hes happier now?
 
Looks to me like he might of sprained, strained, fractured, or broke something in his foot. That's good if he is doing better. If it is still swollen then you might want to give him a mild anti-inflammatory. If he is not any better you might want to try contacting a vet.
