Bumblefoot

[tchamberlain]

Hey folks, one of my girls stopped laying about 8 days ago, became broody, and had one toe on her let foot sticking out at a strange angle. Above is a picture of the foot. Pretty swollen around that funkily pointing toe. But it isn't black or scabby. Clearly there is something wrong here, but is it bumblefoot or something else? She doesn't limp or have any strange motion when she runs. All normal until you see that toe.

Any ideas?
