I think my chicken has bumblefoot, what should I do?

[jomary2013]

I noticed my chicken has a spot under her foot. She walks fine at times I do notice she walks like she stepped on something or when she’s standing she has one leg up. I had a chicken a couple of years ago that died from it and I didn’t notice it until it was too late. I read that soaking my chickens foot on epsom salt for a couple of minutes cures bumblefoot. Have any of you guys tried it? What should I do? I really don’t want my chicken to get sick. She’s eating fine, pooping fine so I’m guessing it’s not severe.

I have not experienced bumblefoot in my chickens before but it sure sounds like your chicken has it! It doesn't sound severe but to prevent it from going there here is a link to help you treat it:
