I've never delt with bumble foot before, but I think my hen might have it. I noticed it last night when I went out to check on the chickens I hadn't seen this girl all day. Her foot is super swollen and can't walk on it. She's in the house, and I've soaked it in warm water. Google says Epsom salt but I can't get to the store til my fiance comes home. Can anyone give me some pointers on how to help my girl out? She's eating and drinking fine. I just wanna get her fixed up and better.

Bumblefoot? That dark spot on the first toe on the right? I'm not sure this would be bumblefoot. Make sure the bedding is dry. We've been having lots of rain and all the time. Everything stays damp causing foot problems. Keep the foot clean and limit the space if she is limping badly.

It's kind of just a guess. I've been asking around but haven't gotten anywhere. Some of the scales on her legs are peeling up too
Maybe mites?
