Is this bumblefoot?

[NovaChooks]

I just got a new flock of hens and noticed when I got home that one of them probably has bumblefoot.... What do you think?

Could be. Try soaking the feet in Epsom salts. A new pic after that would help.

Are these OK to use

I am not sure I just use regular Epsom salt, you soak for 10-15 minutes, it will most likely take a few soaks if it is to loosen the scab enough to get it off , they you need a pair of sterilized tweezers to remove the pus as it's more like a hard ball that can be hard to remove, and like neosporin or triple antibiotic cream without pain relief to pack in there

I would not use those......chicken lungs are very sensitive to aromatics.
Go to the drugstore and get plain Epsom salts.

Thank you. I'll do this tomorrow

I also clipped her nails because a couple of her poor toes were being turned to the side because they were so long

I'd just do daily epsom soaks and apply antibiotic ointment.
Maybe wrap carefully with vet wrap to help keep it cleaner...or not.

You don't remove the Bumble?
