New to chicken keeping. We just noticed this little lump on one of my girls feet. She is still walking normal and it doesn’t seem to bother her but we have never seen it on her before.

It could be bumblefoot, which sometimes manifests on top ot eh foot between the toes. Does she have a scab or cut on her footpad, and can you get a picture? Here is a link about bumblefoot with a lesion between the toes:

I checked her foot and I don’t see anything. I was also doing this alone and she didn’t feel like being held tonight apparently. I’ll try again tomorrow with a friend haha
 
If you can take her off her roost just before daylight, or after dark at night, you can examine her and treat her. I use a red light on my head lamp, and sneak up on them, removing the one I need to treat, and it doesn’t upset the whole group. Then place her back on the roost, or put her into a wire dog crate, where you can easily get her to treat her.
