Large Swollen Things Between Her Toes

[Isabella6Storm4]

I just got back from a week-long trip and noticed that one of my hens had what looks kind of like warts on her foot. I brought her in this morning and cleaned it up and while helping me do so, my brother noticed that he smelled something foul and thought it might be coming from her foot. pretty sure this isn't Bumblefoot. Nothing is on the bottom, only the top.

It looks like bumble foot. The bumble couldn't grow down since she was walking on the foot so it grew up between her toes.

This is bumblefoot in need of proper treatment:

I usually carefully pull open the scab on top and clean out the stuff inside. Soaking the foot in Epson salt before hand helps.

one side has the scab and one does not, do i just do the one side?

Yeah, that's what I would do.

It is best to do just one side at a time so the chicken will still be able to get around for food and water.
