Chicken foot injury or something else?

It actually look like impacted toe pockets where she has the swelling in between her toes which would explain the issues walking. If you look at the bottom of her feet does it look like she has a hard almost stone like mass in between her toes?
How would I take care the impacted toe pockets , if that’s what it is?

In your one picture you can see the skin where the toes meet there is crud stuck up in there. That is what is causing the swelling between her toes. She also looks like she might have a bumble on the foot in the other picture. For impacted toe pockets I believe you have to clean out all of it and keep it clean until the swelling goes down, but I have only seen it with others never had to treat it in my flock. Let me tag someone who may be able to better help with the treatment. @Wyorp Rock

Thank you! I will treat her for both. I just pray that I don’t have to lance the bumblefoot. I hope the scab comes off from soaking.
I REALLY appreciate you and everyone else who are helping me with this. I have had her since she was three days old and I want to get her healthy and give the best chance at a good life.
 
Ohhhkayyyy…. I cleaned out the impacted toe pockets. She got her spa day foot soak in warm epson salt water (she fell asleep and I had to hold her up😁 Every time I have ever soaked her feet, she fell asleep)… then I checked for the bumble foot but didn’t see a scab or anything. I sprayed her feet and in between her toes with Vetericyn plus. She then fell asleep wrapped in the towel. We watched tv, then I sprayed her neck and breast with the Vetericyn. Her feathers are definitely growing in well. It just doesn’t look like it when they are covered in the spray. I didn’t need to wrap her feet in vet wrap. The pockets still look a little big but they are cleaned out and soft. When I took her to the coop, she trotted around and kept looking at her feet😂 I will do the same thing tomorrow and the next day to see if the pockets shrink up some, but I think it is just going to be something that will have to be taken care of as needed.
Ohhh, and I bought oyster shells for calcium.
