Today I noticed one of my peacocks seemed to be limping on his feet and that they both had blisters on them. I looked around and I think it might be bumble foot. Its also snowy outside so I don't know what it may be? I took him inside but am having trouble looking at his feet. I have a few pictures but he's staying in one spot mostly. Should I put him back outside for now?
I'll post some pictures soon.

I would keep him in a dirt/poop free place and probably wrap his feet after a thorough cleaning and inspection.

Is it possible he jumped into or walked in some hot coals from a fire?
I have a young peacock that jumped up on my hot barbecue grill before.
 
I'm not sure this is helpful, but my understanding (from time volunteering in wildlife rescue) is that birds can get bumblefoot from a smooth, uniform perch, like a dowel or pipe. What kind of perches do your peas use?
 
It may be frost-bite. Im not sure. And I don't believe that could have been from something hot, mine don't free-range.

Their perch is a two-by-four.
