I have eight chickens (I call them my girls). About a week ago, I noticed that one of my girls had large blister like puffiness between her toes on the top side. The bottom looks normal to me. The puffiness looks like fluid filled blisters and when I touched them the girl pecked me like it hurt. I just need help in determining what this is and how I need to treat it. One of my other girls has started this on one of her feet. I couldn't get my pictures to load. You can see them in my profile page. Thank you!
 
I don't know if chickens can even get this but, it sounds like foot and mouth disease....sorry that I can't be of more help. Try searching for this and see if it helps.
 
The middle pic shows a spot on the bottom of the foot pad....looks like bumblefoot....my hen had bumblefoot and didn't have a dark spot...I did surgery about a week ago and she is doing better, not 100%, but better...research bumblefoot here and you can see pics of it too....I think that is what you are dealing with...
 
Are the foot joints swollen, red and hot? Any opaque scales on the joint area of the foot?
