Remembering foot pockets.

There was a thread about chickens getting muck packed into 'pockets' in the bottom of their feet, between toes up close to foot...a few got infected, others did not. Was a bit of an anomaly, but not terribly uncommon.

Do you remember? I tried to find the thread, kinda, but could not.

No, but I get what you were saying.

... but the shape of it...
Almost looks like a plastic airsoft gun pellet.

I agree with @FlyingNunFarm in that it looks like a marble! Waiting til Wednesday is gonna kill me! Anxious to find out what is in there!

Okay...this is @PrincessLay-a 's third photo...reposting because of the lighting on the white lump.....enlarge the photo and focus on the lump....
She said the hen was roosting on a metal post.
Speculating here until we get more photos... With freezing temps that spot may have been freeze burned. The cell structure on the surface is different from the pads around it. The swelling could be some deep blistering.

That could very well be the case......great thinking!
That poor girl!

And.....It doesn’t look like a marble in that picture!

I totally didn't think of that! That sound pretty close to what probably happened. If it is, what would you suggest the treatment to be?
