HELP!! Weird growths on my chickens foot :((

[madi k]

Someone please help! I was outside cleaning my chickens pen when I noticed one of my older chickens (8years old) was limping so I went over to check it out and I noticed some weird lump/growth things... I researched it and I think it could be scale mites or unfortunately bumblefoot!( I put petroleum jelly on it in case it's mites but I don't know what if i'm right! Can someone take a look and tell me what's wrong... Im really worried about her!!

Bumblefoot usually leaves a black/dark scab like that on the bottom of the foot.
How do the bottom of her feet look?
I'd say she does have bumble foot and it looks like the scaley leg mites too.

Take a pic of the bottom if you want to confirm bumblefoot

Can you take her to a vet?

Can you take her to a vet?

I can, but it will probably be expensive and my parents would rather try to treat her at home. How bad is it?

Can you get some epsom salt and soak those feet in a warm bath with the salt now?
Then take a new picture of the bottom of the feet after the soak.

If you don't have epsom salt on hand that is fine just soak them in warm water and gently get all the dirt off.

I want to see the bottom of the feet without all the dirt on them then I will tell you what I think.
