Are all foot cuts bumbles?

[CircusRing]

I have a hen who has a scab on the bottom of her foot. She is not limping. And I just finished treating two other hens for bumblefoot (which took about a month). Is it possible for them to just have a scab and it not be bumblefoot?

Sure. Bumblefoot describes the infection that develops in a wound. If it's not infected, then it's likely just a cut that is healing. You may want to monitor it if you've been seeing bumblefoot in your flock, though.

Thanks! That gives me some comfort. This hen doesn’t love to be handled too much.
