Bumblefoot? Gout? What’s wrong with my chickens legs?

[CamberW]

I went out to check on my flock this morning. I found this girl still perched in the coop with her feet looking like this. I originally thought Bumblefoot, but I put her in an epsome salt foot bath and didn’t find any scabs. What can I do to help this girl? TIA

Holy moly.
that's not bumble foot, could be gout.

Mycoplasma synoviae can also cause swelling like that. Is she or any one else in your flock showing respiratory symptoms?

Did this just suddenly happen? The picture isn't real clear and I can't zoom in much, are there blisters around the bases of the toes, or is there just general swelling all over?

No blisters. Just general swelling. It did come on suddenly.

No respiratory symptoms.

Of course a a diagnosis by a vet would be best, but I do think that mycoplasma synovitis is possible. That is a chronic arthritis in chickens related to mycoplasma infection. How do the legs look up higher? Are they thickened or are the hock joints swollen? Since the toes are not swollen and lumpy, I doubt that it is gout. Getting another picture of the chicken standing showing both legs tomorrow might be helpful.
