What is this? Not a emergency just want answers

One of my hens has bumble foot, and today when I was treating it I noticed this red bump a little bit above her "thumb" she is a buff orpington and a little over a year. Anyone ever dealt with this?

That could be a blister.

That could be a blister.

What should I do for it?

 

[skeeeter]

You could put some antibiotic cream on it and watch it. If it is a blister, it should come to a head. If it's just a bug bite it should go down. If you have mosquitoes, it could be the pox.

Pox? Fowl pox?!

Yes, but I can't tell, yet.

Can you tell me more? She has no symptoms shes completely fine. We had stinging nettle could she have gotten into that? How do I treat it?

I looked at pics, thats not how it looks like on her

Symptoms are much easier to see in person than from pictures. It could well be from nettles. Nettles kill baby chicks running through them.
If it's from nettles, you should be able to see fluid in it soon.
You don't have to do anything to it, but you could put on some ointment for peace of mind.
