Bumble foot? Help!

Yes, it does look like the start of bumblefoot. They get it when they poke their feet on something or cut them open and staph bacteria gets inside. This is a link to the bumblefoot surgery. It does have graphic pictures. However, you may have caught it early enough that you could treat it with tricide neo instead.

Is there anywhere I can go and buy tricide neo powder at a store without ordering it?

I am going to post what I do to help her
So, first I washed her feet and butt a bath(cuz it was poopy) with dawn soap and right now she is soaking in Epsom salt.

I don't think so unless you have a local specialty fish store, or maybe you might find a local pet store that carries it.

after I soaked her feet in Epsom salt i blow-dried her, then me and my mom picked the scab off and put tea tree oil on the place where it was. Then I put her in a pen where no chicken poop was (in grass) With some food an water (I also gave her a rotten pear that we had). I did not bandage up her feet, (anyone know how to vet wrap feathered feet?) when it was time to put her away I had clean beding and a new clean roost separate from the other chickens for her. (With food and water of course) mom said we would wrap her feet tomorrow.

We found something like it as a liquid at pet smart, and the main ingredient was tea tree oil, which is why we put that on her. My mom put it on a band-aid in her finger once and when she took it off there was a square, red burn mark where the band aid pad was, because it had soaked in and burned her skin. So that is why we did not bandage Marshmallow, did I tell you that was her name?

So, science we did all that with marshmallow we didn't do anything else, and it's been getting worse. (I know, I know, that's my fault) so today we picked up this stuff a lot like it but in a liquid form.
