Bent and swollen lump in chicken’s toe

[Allessia]

Our chicken has had bumble foot a while back which we treated at home with epson salt and bandaged it. A couple weeks after she developed this lump in her toe and her toe started bending sideways.

Could it have been due to the bumble foot, or is she deficient in anything nutritious wise? She doesn’t seem bothered or in pain but she doesn’t use her toes as much as the others when she pecks and looks for food.

Anybody ever had a chicken with that issue?

Broken toe. Got a rooster with a toe that got broken, & ended up with a bunion. Run was abit muddy from rain the day this was taken.

Once it develops the lump, you can't do anything unfortunately.

If you catch it early it can be fixed. I noticed his too late, so I couldn't do anything. It's healed, but just crooked with a lump.
