yes we (my friend a chicken lady) did think it was bumblefoot at first but there is (wasn't until now) no discoloration or foreign object piercing the skin, it's not even hot. it does hurt her if you touch it she jerks it away. does bumble foot have to get bad before it shows itself? i did read a lot about it and this doesn't seam to have a core infection to be removed. I'm adding another photo. I'm afraid to just cut her with no indication of what i should be cutting out.
