Bumble foot?

Woohoo you were right it was just hardened mud and poop! I am so relieved.
I soaked her in warm epsom salt water and then just put my thumb on the top side of the bulge and gently pushed it out. Came out without issue on both feet.

Thank you again!

Good news! You'll have to empty it periodically.

It might just be a dirt plug without an infection. Try to wiggle it out.

This is what it looked like when it happened on my bird. I don't have any pictures of the lump before I pulled it out.

I agree. I'm pretty sure that's just a dirt plug. I just found one on my hen two days ago and it popped right out, no fuss. Just try to see if you can wiggle it out and if it gives you any trouble soaking it will help dislodge it. If it Isnt coming out though, dont force it.

Wonderful!
I would still soak/clean the feet a couple of times a week, making sure to get those crevices cleaned out.
She does have raised scales so put some oil, etc. on the legs/toes and work it under the scales.

Glad it all went well for you!
