I have a hen that I believe has bumblefoot. I noticed her feet were slightly swollen and a bit pink a few months back but didn't worry because she doesn't seem bothered. Today I noticed the scab on one foot seems discolored and started researching. It looks like bumblefoot. She is not limping or acting out of sorts, she even still runs for scraps with all the other girls but now I am worried that if I don't do something it might get worse. It has looked the same for the last 3 months so maybe I should leave it alone. Any advice would be great. I read up on how to treat it by soaking, cleaning and lancing but I didn't know if this is something I should do since it doesn't seem to bother the hen. I don't want to make things worse. Here are pictures of each foot, taken today.
