Welcome to BYC. I see you have gotten good advice. I personally would not put a hen down for bumble foot unless she was suffering. Your girl has the will to live. Bless you for caring, and Good luck!

regarding the bumblefoot - i had one that had bumbles on both feet from stepping on a briar branch that was laying on the ground. i followed this and got her healed so the below links give good advice that worked for me.
