Is this Bumblefoot??

One of my hens was found this morning under the coop unable to stand or walk. I've taken her inside and she's happy enough just sat there. She will flap when I try to move her, she can move her legs, eyes look normal and she's eating and drinking.

When I try to assist her onto her feet she curls her toes up and falls down to rest on her chest with both feet tucked under her body.

I've had a search online and I think it might be bumblefoot but all the pics online seem a lot more severe so I'm unsure.

What do you think? What would you advise? How should I treat it if it is bumblefoot?

I am not a vet, but this small spot could be the start of bumblefoot. Most chickens even with a big spot can still walk, although mine will limp a bit if they have one.

She may have injured her foot somehow. Can you isolate her and watch her? She may just need to heal her foot from an injury. Its good she is still eating and drinking, that's a good sign. I hope this helps?
