Bumblefoot and other foot issue

[boxermizer]

A chicken came to me after it got injured by a predator. It had an injured eye, but that seems to be fine now. However, I noticed a couple toes were bent and thought she had bumblefoot on one of the bent toes. I finally got brave enough and soaked her feet in Epsom salt today. I also added tea tree oil, colloidal silver, peroxide and arnica to the water. It took a lot longer than what I read, four 10 minute soaks before I could get it to come off. But as soon as it was off the skin underneath looks fine. So was this bumblefoot? Do I need to wrap it for a couple weeks as suggested to protect that spot?

On the curled toes, she seems to be walking fine, but I have her confined, so I'm not sure I have a good sense on how this will affect her. I don't know if she has been like this for a long time or if this was a result of injury from the predator. She's definitely a full grown hen. Can/should I try to straighten her toes with a cast/brace? I did this before for ducks, but I got to them right after the injury.

I attached pictures of before/after bumblefoot "surgery" to help me figure that one out. I could not get a good picture of the curled toes, but that toe with the dark spot is curled under at that joint, that's why you don't see the rest of the toe in these pictures. I can mostly straighten it out, but when she stands, these two toes point to the side instead of forward.

Can you try reposting the pics? They refuse to enlarge. This time select "full size for all images".

If there is no raw skin under a scab, that means the bumblefoot was superficial and healed on its own. No further treatment is necessary.

The curled toes are common as some hens get older for some reason. I have several with toes turned practically upside down. None of these chickens seem to have any issues getting around or roosting. Foot deformities have to be addressed in the first week after hatch. Trying to fix them later is almost never successful.

I can try reposting the pictures, but I did select full size for all images and they enlarge when I click on the thumbnail.

Thank you so much for your feedback on the issues! She graduated from the portable dog kennel in the shop to the secondary coop tonight. I'll let her stay there for a few days until the chickens get a little aquainted with her then try to integrate her with my flock. I hope she doesn't get picked on.

Thank you! I've integrated others before, but not one that came to me injured and who may have a disadvantage with the bent toes. I'll just take it slower with her. However, putting her in my second coop last night seemed to make her a bit fiesty. She really wants outside. She's been inside too long.
