Why I check chick feet regularly now!

I have a 2 week old chick that got wrapped in hens matted feathers. I didn’t wrap it. Do you have any pictures? I’m worried about Bumblefoot infection.

Sorry, I have no pictures of the actual incident because I wanted to act fast. I could send you a picture of the wounds without the toes, or you can send me a picture of the chick and I can see if I know what it is.

My oldest chick had what I'm guessing a dislocation in her leg when she was 3 weeks. It happened twice. Both times my husband without thinking picked her up and tugged on her leg and then she was fine. Never happened again. Was very weird.

That is really strange! I wonder why pulling the leg helped.

This is after I removed the bottom scab. It’s looking better now. Hopefully doesn’t get infected. She’s handling it well and acting healthy

I've never seen that before, I don't think it's bumblefoot. I'd keep iodine on it to keep bacteria out and ask someone more experienced for advise. I hope your chickie heals up well
