Large cyst on foot?

[evyverschaeve]

Please help, one of my old hens has a large cyst-like bump on her foot and it is restricting her from getting around easily. I caught her and I didn't see anything exterior to the foot but when pressure was applied she would get mad. What is this and what can I do to fix it?

Can you post a photo of the top and bottom of the foot? I might help people help you.

Welcome to BYC. Sometimes you can post photos until you have posted a few time here. Here are some pictures of bumblefoot and links with videos to read about it:
