Unfortunately, without examining your Hen it would be hard to give any advice. Bumblefoot usually occurs if there is an infection or abscess from a wound. Your vet may be referring to "hard" bumblefoot as an infection that has traveled to the bone, which is very serious for birds, while a "soft" bumblefoot may be an infection that is still just under the skin. Without an exam, or X-rays, it would be hard to determine this, so it would be best to request additional information and tests from your vet.
