Is this bumblefoot or just a minor scab?

The white stuff is from her stepping in her own droppings. I’m wondering if the dark part needs to be treated or not?

It looks like bumblefoot. Is she limping? It doesn't look terribly red but I'd soak her feet in epsom salt and warm water and get a closer look when her feet are clean. It's treatable but you'll want to familiarize yourself with dealing with it before you get started and you'll possibly need some supplies. Particularly an antibiotic ointment or gel that says it treats staph. Here's a couple of links that you may find helpful.

thank you! There is no redness or swelling. I have had chickens with Bumblefoot before but had the vet deal with it for me. I tried to pull it off but could not, as it seems like s very surface-level scab. I slathered it in Neosporin and wrapped it up. I am hoping this one will not need treatment because I am rehoming her in two days to a woman who has not had chickens before. :/

I hope she's ok! My rooster is having the issue and I'm dealing with it, not fun but not too difficult.
