New chicken tender here and I've heard a lot about bumblefoot and foot injuries lately. Today I saw a few small drops of blood on one of the ramps for our chickens so I gave them each a once over to see if there were any injuries. Thankfully, no one seemed to be injured, but I saw this on one girl and am trying not to panic/worry. I cleaned her foot well and gave it a spray of blu-kote, let it dry, and rushed here with a picture. Should I worry, or did I overreact?

Yup it is seems small there is a scab looking thing flick it off.
There is core in it. Once you get to the core soak the foot in Epson Salt. Pack it with triple anti biotic ointment no pain killer in it please.
If you have a child you can use one of their socks to keep it clean.
Take the sock off every couple days see how it is doing.

Thank you so much! Hopefully I caught it in time and it won't get too bad.
