Bumblefoot????

[sophiesflock]

Hi! My 2.5 year old buff Orpington has swelling around her toes and these weird growths on the side of her legs (almost like an extra toe). Is this bumblefoot and does it require surgery??? None of my chickens has had it before.
Thanks!

Can you post some photos of the bottom of her foot?

The "growths" on the side of the legs look like spurs. Some hens develop spurs as they get older.
