Possible bumblefoot?

[PineHavenMama]

Hello, all. Two days ago we noticed one of our young hens limping when she runs. When walking it isn’t really apparent there’s anything wrong. I picked her up and felt of her legs and didn’t notice any issues. When researching, I came across bumble foot. I’ve never had a chicken with this issue before, but am wondering if that could be the cause. I’ll attach some pictures and I’d love some feedback. I went ahead and made a mix of fractionated coconut oil, oregano oil, tea tree oil, and lavender which all have great healing properties in the event that it is an infection. I rubbed a few drops into the pink pads on the bottom of her feet, covered it with a dressing and wrapped the feet. If there is anything else I should be doing, I’d love advice from those in the know. Thanks so much.

Anyone?

She doesnt have bumblefoot. Most likely your hen may have sprained or strained a tendon or ligament jumping down from a high roost, or other high object such as a lawn chair, picnic table, trash can etc...
If it's severe enough, she'll need to be caged for rest and relaxation while it heals. Here's a link, please read post #4:

Thank you for replying. When I tried searching for causes of a limp, that’s what kept coming up and there was mention of a small pink spot in very early cases. She’s one I hatched out the end of February so I had wondered if the rooster might have hurt her because they’re just starting to be bred and one has started laying.
