Is this bumble foot on my gosling? Very worried.

I found this on my gosling today. I am terrified. First time goose mom.

That looks like bruising not bumble foot.

I thought bruising too, wouldn't bumble foot be more likely to appear on their "heels"? i'm new so not sure what causes bumblefoot other than regularly being on hard surfaces - I know goslings can be pretty bad for getting under your feet though so did you perhaps accidentally step on him recently?

I'm almost positive it's from when I walked out to a raw land-like portion of the property to discuss plans with the landscaper. There are a lot of spiny weeds that he could have stepped on and the general rough texture of the ground might have done it. I feel terrible and will not take them out there again until they're older.

I don't think I stepped on him as he has it on both feet but am pretty sure it was from when I walked him out on some undeveloped land.
