Swollen foot chicken

[AlbertVinny]

Hi y’all. I have a year old silver laced wyandotte hen and she has had an injury on her foot for about a month now. I originally thought it was an ant bite and the swelling would go down but it hasn’t and it has started to bother her a bit. She limps a little when she runs now and I’m not sure if she has a splinter, broken foot or what. Please help! I first noticed it after spending one night with my male peacocks due to a storm. I am bot sure if there was fighting but there were no other signs of fights. She is also the alpha bird on our farm.

Is that a black spot in the middle of the underside of her foot? Could be bumble foot. Can you soak her feet in a pan of warm water? Might soften it up, couldn't hurt. I've never dealt with bumble foot, but you can find pictures and how to treat it on this forum

It does look like bumblefoot in both the scab on the footpad, and the red area on top of the foot. Here is a good link to read about treating bumblefoot:
