Bumble foot?

[BlueDawnRising]

Pullet is 9 months old, eating, drinking and laying as expected. She is active and doesn’t seem to mind me touching her foot pad. Is this bumble foot? These are my first chickens so I’m not confident in my ability to diagnose. Also, if it is, do I let it run its course since it doesn’t seem to be bothering her or do something more? Thanks in advance for your help! I appreciate this community so much!!

That looks like bumblefoot. Bumblefoot is most often caused by staph which, if left untreated, can get much worse and even cause death. It doesn't look too bad at the moment, but I would treat it so it doesn't worsen.

Here are some good resources for treatment:

Website article on non-surgical treatment-

BYC article on how to wrap the foot properly after treatment is applied (very helpful)-

And a good video that is also helpful-

I hope these are helpful!
