Just checked out the feet of the chickens in our flock and I see some black marks/scabs on their feet. There are no outward signs of distress or change in their behavior, wondering if this is bumblefoot.

@aart is correct. I've dealt with bumblefoot and there arnt any signs of infection; redness nor swelling. As stated, the scabs will heal on their own and I'd check their feet once a week or so.
You can use sandpaper to sand roosts to eliminate splinters and burrs. Consider lowering roosts if they are too high.
