On the back of my horse with a chicken on my shoul
I was doing the normal check-up of my hens and I cleaned my one hens' foot named Snap. I was a little black spot, and I was wondering if it was bumblefoot. Her foot is not at all swollen, but this little persistent spot stayed after I had cleaned it. Is it just a persistent spot of poop, or is it the early stages of bumblefoot? Thanks in advance! - chickencrazy429

Here are some pictures:
This is the little spot

This is her foot from the side

This is the spot again

This is her foot flat down. (sorry about the black thing, that's my camera's string, and I could hardly get her to stand still!)
 
Not an expert!!!
Looks to me like it may be bumble foot. There is a very good article on community chickens about this. There is also a video on how to treat it.
Good luck Rich
