Is this a blueberry tree? I just found it

To me it doesn't look familiar .....squeeze it and see what the inside looks like .......might be , ours are low to the ground , usually in a closer cluster ......if it's dark purple / should smell sweet

Nice find! Two blueberry bushes I have nearly died in last summer's heat and drought -- put out leaves but no blossoms this year -- and the one that put out fruit -- got knocked off by the rain or eaten by the birds. Hope that you get to harvest when they are ripe!

ETA oops -- mis-read your post -- here is what mine looks like closer if that helps:

Any ideas as to what is wrong? This is one of my EE named "Squirrel". She started kind of hopping on one leg & when I checked it out, there is nothing caught or tied around her foot. I watched her go onto the roost tonight to make sure she is not sitting on the ground. Never dealt with bumblefoot before, so if that's what it is?????? How do I treat it?

I would soak the foot and scrub it clean, then look again.

Maybe a tiny string is wrapped around the joint, or maybe it is bumble foot.

Bumble foot will have a scab somewhere. There has to be some spot where the foot was wounded and infection entered.

The scab once soaked might gently peal off, hopefully still connected to any nasty infection kernal that might be there. Then flush the wound. Supposedly you are then supposed to use antibiotic and pack and dress the wound.

The two times I had bumble, I just cleaned them out and popped the chicken back down in the same dirty chicken coop. Both times (different chickens each time), it didn't come back.

Hard to tell from the pic, are the berries round then blueberry, if odd shaped then possibly honeyberry. Most honeyberries are long and on bushes, some look more like blueberries but not round and some can grow to 7' tall.
Blueberries can also get tree size. I've seen wild old growth ten foot tall thick branch blueberry bushes in the woods. Being everthing was fields around here 50-100 yrs ago I imagine these bushes got so big fighting for sunlight as the woods grew up around them.

Will they kill my husband if he eats the berries?

These berries are secreting a karo corn syrup like substance from the blossom end

You should see the lilac bushes below my in-laws. They are growing around a probably couple hundred yr old barn foundation on top of the hill. In-laws actually put the double wide they still live in on the barn foundation in '68.
These lilacs are unreal, both white and purple, they're like something out of a tropical jungle. The trunks are massive, a foot round or more and twist and wind everywhere like giant vines and around 20' tall.

Did it have a single big flat seed? If so possible wild raisin. Also called withe-rod, and possumhaw They are hard till they ripen in the fall and then look a lot like a raisin, taste like a date but not a lot of fruit to them cause of the size of the seed. I used to munch on them all the time when I was a teen out hunting, grouse love them. Eat them like shell on sunflower seeds, exept you suck off the outside and spit out the seed, Lol!
