Brahma chicken's feet

[Onyxflock]

My 4 year old Brahma is acting differently and I can't see if anything is wrong.
She goes out with the other 4 for a while, then just rests under the trees the rest of the time. She'll eat a little when they're in the run and I throw worms or scratch or a bowl of mash/softened feed with vitamins in water.
She had dark green runny poop so I cut back on the scratch and scraps.
That seems better, but still no energy.

Could it be her feet? She walks like a duck, upright. It's hard to tell with the feathers on her feet.
The picture shows her sister - same age.

Does she lay eggs anymore? Walking upright and like a duck can be a description of chickens with internal laying or egg yolk peritonitis. I would check to see if she is egg bound though. If you feel a stuck egg, human calcium citrate with vitamin d can help to increase muscle contractions.

I haven't see her in the nest box at all. She has walked upright for some time. I thought maybe she was adopting rooster behaviour after we gave him away, but that was a long time ago.
Just recently she started having problems.
When I picked her up her abdomen was flat and no runny poop on her butt. But she hunches with her tail down - maybe something I could feel in her back?

I posted a video in the Gallery on this site. Not sure how to link it

Videos are best uploaded to a site such as YouTube or Vimeo, or similar. Here is an informative article including signs of egg yolk peritonitis:

Have you physically picked her up and inspected the legs/feet for signs of Bumblefoot, Scaly Leg Mites, etc.?

OMG I did this morning after viewing the articles & photos. I think she has both.
There's a large soft knot on her foot padd and both she & her sister's legs are totally gnarly.
Looks like she has both.

Pictures may help. Soaking her feet in warm Epsom salts for about 15 minutes a day can help to loose a bumblefoot scab, in order to squeeze out any pus. Leg mites can be treated by slathering something like Nustock cream on the legs or vaseline 2-3 times a week for several weeks.

Great, thank you. But regarding Bumblefoot - she doesn't have any scab or wound - just swollen, soft round knots. Maybe it's not too bad yet?

Can you post photos of her feet?
