Is this bumblefoot?

Thank you for your kindness. I will definitely keep you updated!

Oh you're so welcome!

And I almost forgot to welcome you to BYC! We're crazy chicken lady central and have several chicken gurus who frequent that have seen most anything! I'm so glad you've found us even if it's under less than favorable circumstances! :welcome

I should have mentioned this before but check your chickens regular hang outs for sharp edges, broken pottery like flower pots and thorny branches/brambles. You'll want to eliminate the source of injury if possible.:highfive:

See this

That is bumblefoot with the infection in the pad swelling up through the toes.
I read the thread on the link you provided. The only problem is that there is no "spot" on the pad. The bottom of the foot looks completely normal. I think I'll take her to the vet Monday. The only problem is that the vets around here really don't know anything about chickens. But at least they can give her some antibiotics. Thanks for your help.
 
Thank you everyone for your support and advice. Took her to vet yesterday. It was bumblefoot. He got all the yucky stuff out and now she's healing. Just wanted to let everyone know and thank you guys for being so helpful. You are all amazing!
