Hi everyone, it's my first time to have chickens so this is why I have joined and I would like some advice as when my chickens went in tonight I noticed one Henrietta limping. I have read about bumblefoot which is really worrying me, any advice welcome..

Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan

If you do a search in the Emergencies section of the Forum you will find considerable information on bumblefoot. Good luck.

Hello and Welcome to BYC! You might want to take pictures of the foot you think might have bumblefoot and post them on the Emergencies/Diseases board. The BYC Learning Center also has an article on bumblefoot with some pictures. https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/bumblefoot-how-to-treat-your-chickens-with-surgery-graphic-pics

Welcome to BYC

There are a number of reasons a chicken would limp, from bumble foot, to foot or leg injury, to pests and certain disease. Examine your hen's feet and legs and post as much details of what you find and your impressions in the Emergencies / Diseases / Injuries and Cures forum section. Fingers crossed!
