Hi guys, one of my hens has bumble foot but I can't find the scab/core.
I searched between her toes and on top her foot but I can't even find an area to suspect. She's not limping at all and can still grasp fine with that foot.
Could it be something else or am I just missing it?
I'm going to soak her foot tomorrow to see if that brings it out.

Thanks!

It's hard to operate a flashlight, camera and chicken with only two hands.

It looks like you caught it nice and early if it is bumble, so there may just not be a scab yet. Also, there are times that no scab forms and the infection remains very fluid-like and stringy. For now, keep an eye on it, and soak it in Epsom salts or at least warm water.

Thanks, should I attempt to open it in a few days if it doesn't form a scab?
 
If it gets any worse I would, but if she's still acting perfectly normal for now, I'd just leave it.
