Weird-presenting bumblefooot?

[K2goatsandducks]

My 8 month old Pekin hen (I think she’s actually a jumbo Pekin), has what I assume to be bumblefoot on one of her toes. We discovered it during a regular foot check, though she has not been limping, she’s eating and drinking normally, happily mating with our drake, and laying an egg a day.
I’m going to start her on epsom salt soaks to soften and remove what I believe is a kernel, but the thing is, I’ve never seen bumblefoot look like this.
Ducky experts, what do you think? Have you seen this before?
Thank you!

It looks very much like a bumblefoot case would look like, except the eschar (scab) is protruding out rather far - as to why you might see that reaction, I'm unsure. I would proceed with normal bumblefoot treatment and start soaking the foot in either Epsom saltwater, or an antiseptic bath such as chlorhexidine. After loosening of the eschar as been achieved, you can gently peel/ cut away at it, until full debridement of the eschar has been accomplished.

Oftentimes, caseous material or pus is present under the underlying tissue, in which case you would want to apply firm pressure to squeeze any out and promote proper healing. The sore can then be lavaged with an antiseptic, afterward, an application of an antibacterial ointment or cream. Unless a sterile environment is possible, bandaging the foot is recommend to prevent subsequent infection of the tissue until it's closely healed.

Thank you so much. I have a box of duck booties, so I can keep her penned up until it heals.
Fingers crossed it’s straightforward healing. She’s a great laying bossy girl.
