Foot ailment

[dfecarter]

Bumblefoot? Skin infection? I do think I might’ve spotted some scaly foot mite issues. This is a almost 6 year-old bar rock hen. Still eating OK expressing a little bit of discomfort with her legs on occasion. Any help would be appreciated and identifying this thank you.

Have you looked at the bottom of the foot? If it's bumblefoot, there will usually be a big crusty black scab on the bottom of the inflamed area. Sometimes the webbing can also get packed with rocks/mud and get stretched and swell a bit without being infected, to me this does look more abcess-like. It looks like the same thing may be present on the left foot in a milder form as well.
