Help: Adult laying hen with swollen pink areas on feet and legs

[ChickenFan73]

Snowy's legs are normally yellow with just a bit of pink. She now has splotchy pink everywhere and swelling between her toes.
There is a small black bumble on one foot (maybe 1 centimeter in size) - she's walking, but whimpering and maybe some limping.
QUESTION #1: Is the pink/swelling on her legs related to the bumble? Or does she have two different things going on at the same time? (Our other chickens have had the small black bumble part, but it always resolved on it's own - i.e. fell off without infection).
QUESTION #2: What should we do for her?
Many thanks!

you cant go wrong by giving her a soak in sone epson salts, spraying her after with an antimicrobe spray like vetericn, not sure on spelling, and some antibiotic cream. Make sure coop is clean. I would isolate her on some clean bedding so she doesnt have to walk around pretending to be well for the flock. At the very least none of this will hurt her. I generally give my hens antibiotics when not well, i just get them online from a pigeon supply. Coop and run and nesting bars should be cleaned.

Thank you SO MUCH for responding right away! These are all great ideas - I never considered that I need to also clean the sleeping perch (nesting bars). I live in Canada, so I doubt the pigeon supply will ship across the border - but I guess I can give it a try. Thanks again! : )
