Foot Problems - What is it?

[egg-centric]

Hi, I'm new to the forum. Have a backyard flock for a year and they are doing well overall. However, one of my hens has a growth on here feet and I don't know what it is. I read about bumblefoot, but I don't think it is because it is the same on both feet, and does not have the black center hole. Anybody know what this condition might be? (BTW this was a year ago and she has since been culled, but still want to learn about it). Appreciate any info you can share. Thanks. Egg-centric

Welcome to BYC!

Some of my hens have similar feet. Its when a chicken starts to develop bumble foot but than it heals (or so I assume). One time it was so cold that a dropping got stuck to one of my Red Stars feet and froze there. I got it off and she bled some but than it healed up and she got better. However, her foot stayed wider than usual for a while.
