Limping is this BumbleFoot?

[ANiceKaren]

Hi friends. I noticed my 2 year old BSL chicken mildly limping last night before bed. I checked her foot this morning and found this. Is this bumblefoot? It’s not bumpy or hard.. almost looks like it’s embedded into skin? Thoughts on what this is or how to treat? Mildred is still eating, drinking, running for treats but all with a slight limp. I sprayed some Veterycin on it for now but looking for some suggestions! Please ☺

Looks like maybe poop/mud/debris stuck in the crevice of the foot.
Give her foot a little soak to help soften it up, then push it out.

Could this cause her to limp mildly?

Possibly, like a stone in the foot.
Take it out and see if she stops limping.

Thank you! I’ll update!

A pretty good size chunk of yuck came out and then I washed with mild soap and water. She actually seems to be limping less but she is still limping a tiny bit! I hope that was it! Wouldn’t it be nice if it were this easy!

Do you think perhaps it’s an infection? Hence antibiotocs? Or just watch to see how she does next few days… there wasnt any open skin under the muck I pulled out…

Glad it came out. If the skin wasn't broken underneath, then I'd give her a couple of days to see if the limping resolves.

I think it worked! Mildred seems back to her old self and limping much less.. maybe not at all! thank you again!
