I tried it too, and did OK. I ended up needing a little more help with my hens and found an avian vet in the area. A product called silvadene will work nicely to clear up the bumbles too.

Make sure to wrap the wound in vet tape and pack the area with gauze pads. Adding some neo-sporin will also help. Welcome to the club of in home chicken surgeons, it's a pretty extensive club.

I wasn't on for a couple weeks and then I forgot to update this, but the bad news is that Grey pasted away.

She appered to have broken her back when I found her (in the evening) and she pasted away the next morning. But before her death her foot was getting better.
