Is this early stage Bumblefoot?

[HeiHeisMom]

I noticed Reese not eating, and trying to sit in a corner this morning. When I went to check her out she started limping and her left leg looked swollen.
Keep in mind as a 7.5 lb CCX pullet she doesn't know she can't jump and run like her RIR and BR sisters, she's very active!
Soaked feet in warm Epsom salt water, Neosporin, bandages and socks but still can't keep her very still.
If we hold her she pouts because she wants to play. Lol.
Left foot, right foot, booty gal.

A bumble generally presents as a flattish, round-ish Black scab which covers a wound.
Except under the scab is a pocket of cheesy pus.

In its early stage it can look like dirt that might be rubbed away with a fingernail but can’t , or even a dark freckle on any toe or the foot pads.

No scabing, just very swollen and red. She's limping as Left foot is much worse than right foot.
She is extreamle active foe her size and runs and jumps a lot! This evening she jumped up on my shoulder from my lap!
She refuses to accept she's not a little girl.

By the way, pretty pretty bird, and exceptionally clean feet!
also I didn’t see a “bumble” spot per se on either foot but you also said her leg is swollen and I couldn’t get a look up close of the leg in question. I’m sorry I can’t be more helpful.
Do a quick google search for bumblefoot images. There are thousands.

Thank you. I don't see any sores either, just a small scratch by one toe.

You could try “grounding her” for a few days in a dog crate, to enforce the take it easy rule.
If she’s sprained something due to her love of extreme chicken sports, you might see improvement.

I pulled our "Chook hospital bed" out and prepared it earlier. Reese squawked at me and hid behind the sofa. Lol
Any way, put out water and cushion for her and put a night light on since she's inside.
Hope she does ok tonight.
She loves her booties and doesn't mind the ointment and gauze padding.
