3rivers, thanks for all the sites! For some reason I couldn't go to them from the links you provided so I tried to retype and find them myslef.
Some of those I'd also seen before I typed questions in here but I can't seem to find the exact same problem.
So, little update, she's still having foot issues. I'm still working on it. She's still eating and drinking like normal. Nothing seems amiss besides her little limp and she's not been laying.
But her foot has changed a bit. I'll add a pic.
The purple is the antibacterial stuff you spray on...

I'm still here and so are my six beauties.
Amelia made a full recovery from her foot issue, though it did take quite a while.
It's winter now and the hens are doing pretty well with the cold. I do not add supplemental heat and they seem ok with that. It was 4 this morning and yesterday morning and all are well! Tough ladies!!
 
Amelia eats her own eggs soon after she lays them. I can't get her to stop but it seems to be just her own eggs so I leave it alone.
Betty has a poopy, bald butt-bottom of the pecking order it seems. but I gave her a bath today and she seems to be doing good for now. She liked bath time!
