I notice 2 of my chickens have a round bubble between two toes. They are not red and dont appear to bother the chickens. Is this bumble foot.

Little hard to see, but on the right there is a bump, not that big and not red at all. Am i being paranoid or is it the beginning of bumble foot. What should i do.

I see the swelling between the toe webbing you're talking about, but it's hard to really breakdown what's going on. Bumblefoot usually develops on the bottom of the plantar surface, and in some cases can cause swelling visual from a top (such as the picture below). Have you checked underneath her foot pads?

This might not be what it is but I want to give my advice:
A few of my hens have lose webbed toes. Meaning that dirt and poop and wet things have been jammed up there webbing and have caused bumps like what you have in the picture. I would love if you could take a picture of the bottom of the foot as well as that would help deciding what it is.
On the underneath of her foot if there is a dirt thing that doesn’t look like bumble foot... press on the top of the bump and that dirt rock will come out of her webbing. The first time I did this is was a bit hard to come out but you will know whether or not it is bumble foot or not.

It was hard to get a good picture because her feet are a bit dirty. It looked ok but have to admit i never really looked at the bottom of her foot before

Have you tried to push on the top? Because that looks like what I was talking about and what that thread talks about
