About 2 weeks ago I noticed my hen Pearly Pearl limping so I goggled and it suggested Bumblefoot but at the time her foot didn’t look like any of the images I seen! I noticed a small indention on the bottom of her foot so I soaked it in epsom salt and used Vetericyn and drawing salve the next day I checked it and seen yellow puss coming from that spot so I repeated the process and next day was nothing but started noticing a hard tab on the top of her foot between her toe then after a few days it looked swollen around the tab! I’m enclosing pictures of it does this look like Bumblefoot and how do I need to treat it! Any help would be appreciated!!
 
Bumblefoot can also be on top of a toe like that. It's usually from a cut where staph germs have entered and infected it. The treatment is the same as for a wound on the bottom of the foot.

Soak for fifteen minutes or longer in warm Epsom salt water, debride (pull off the scab and clean out all the pus. Spray with Vetericyn and then coat with an antibiotic ointment, and then bandage so no dirt can get in. Check the wound in two or three days. If a thin scab is forming, that's good. Reapply ointment and re-bandage.

If the wound is oozing, repeat the soaking and then bandage after applying the ointment.

I unable to see clearly but I can say that I if it's bumblefoot then you have to wait . When I treat upper finger bumblefoot I need to let it ripe so that I can pull it out . Without ripe its hard until then you should soak apply ointment and wrap and keep seeing it it will become hard black dot type scab ..I cut it and pull it then wash it with Baytril fill it with silver Sulfadiazine and wrap it and voila it heals in 7 days
