Rooster has something wrong with his feet

[Marshaharrell]

i have a Rhode Island Red rooster that is a little over a year old. The last few nights, I have noticed that he wasn’t roosting in the coop. I didn’t think much of it until he was in the coop yesterday in the middle of the day. This morning, he was in there again. I managed to get him to come out and he has something goign on with his feet. They look swollen and he’s limping. I’ve attached some pictures to see if anyone has advice. Thanks in advance.

It's bumble foot of the toe. Gout shows up with pail comb, & swollen legs. Another symptom of gout is lethargy.

What do I do for Bumblefoot? I thought that was on the bottom of the foot.

Pics of bottom of his foot? Could be Bumblefoot, maybe even an infected injury.

Pics of the bottoms of his feet will help us with diagnosis.

Towel wrap him up, clean the feet a bit and get some more photos... I’m also thinking it looks like bumblefoot or some sort of infection

He’s definitely acting weird, not sure about lethargic. His comb and wattle are still really red.

Could just be due his feet hurting. Bumble foot is painful for chickens.
