Bumblefoot? Foot injury?

[Kailcar]

Hello! I'm hoping to get some confirmation in my thoughts and guidance. I got home for my lunch break and found one of my girls was limping pretty badly. She's about 6 months old and a barred rock (currently laying). My husband and I grabbed her to inspect her foot and found she has a fleshy swollen spot on the bottom of her foot. It looks to me like possible the start of bumble foot, or localized swelling due to a possible injury or poke from sticks/debris around the yard.

My plan is to soak her foot in Epsom salt water tonight, put some Neosporin on it (non pain relief kind) and wrap it to see if I can get some of the swelling drawn out of it.

I don't see any clear head on it that seems to be present with bumblefoot, it's just a fleshy, squishy growth on the bottom of her foot. Does anyone have any other suggestions or anything else I can do to help give her a speedy recovery?

Thanks

If not early bumblefoot (which would be my first guess too), then it could also be either soft tissue or bone bruise-type injury from a bad landing that's producing swelling. Does she have to jump down from very high in the mornings?

The roost is only about 2 ft high from the ground from where they sleep at night. They have some perch spots out in the run, too, which is about the same height. However, we do have some roots that stick up from the ground that we have been trying to eliminate after clearing a bunch of undergrowth in our yard, so it is very possible that she jumped from an outside perch and landed roughly on a root. I've been trying to cut them as close to the ground as I can every time I find them but I tend to trip on them, too .

Here's a picture of the roost area. I clean it every morning and it's a sand floor, so there's no debris other than some shavings that gets kicked out of the nesting boxes.

Edit to add: she was completely fine this morning, no limping. Whatever happened escalated within the last 4 hours to the point of swelling/limping.
