Thank you!If it's soft, it needs lanced to drain it. It would be quite similar to what I described for the bumblefoot. Open it with either a large gauge needle on a syringe to drain it with, or open it with the sanitised razor blade to drain it. If it will drain with the syringe, I'd rinse it back out with a half-distilled water, half peroxide solution, and drain that back out, too. If you do it with the razor blade, proceed as I described to medicate and treat it after the gunk was taken out.
Very helpful thanks!I would add something to above posts, If you do decide to lance it wear gloves. Its more then likely staph infection and contagious to humans .
I see a lot of instructions missing this important step. IF it is a tumor I would expect her to bleed a lot and possible loose her. If the lump is movable it is most likely infection and with the black there I would about bet on it.
X2 for lancing, but take cover. When that thing blows it's going to go all over. Sure hope she gets better.I think Im seeing some dried puss around the black . I think a lancing is in order here. @Wyorp Rock ???
Make sure to wear rubber gloves as it will probably be a staph infection. Then wash your hands good after treating it. I'm wondering if it is bumble foot that traveled to the leg bone? Hope someone that has more experience can help you out.X2 for lancing, but take cover. When that thing blows it's going to go all over. Sure hope she gets better.

Chickens dont have puss like we do. theirs is hard and formed so it wont drain through a small incision it has to be worked out of there. And your right, if you dont get it all it will come back.
