Hi good day
What are my baby chick's feet turning red?
I've never seen this before. Are they red bumps?
He walks and eats like normal, but occasionally he'd raise up his tiny foot and peck at it. And I also I am seeing him standing on one leg now? I took the mud off under his feet already but that's not what's causing it? What is that tho?

Looks like irritation from damp or soiled bedding, or wet conditions. Skin on the feet can break down quickly into foot pad dermatitis or bumblefoot. Is the chick in a brooder with heat?
