I skipped a few pages so not sure how you've been doing with the salt soaks... My suggestion is to grab that infectious lump with tweezers if it is bumblefoot and doesn't appear to be too deep. Otherwise, and if the soaking hasn't been working or - in addition to soaking - you can use unpasteurized honey drizzled into/onto the bleeding area (disinfectant, wound-sealer) or crushed yarrow leaves (disinfectant, coagulant) bound to it. I have treated myself and my chickens with both, and for chickens i prefer the honey because they ALWAYS manage to remove their bandages! I tend to keep my bandages on, so when i do something so silly as to decapitate my thumb i go for the yarrow for myself. Both are equally phenomenal at healing wounds, so give them a try!
