Broken leg?

[MarySue]

How about tail feathers? When I pick her up and pet her andhold her on my lap her tail feathers go up. When she's just standing in the cage the tail feathers go down. ??

Normal.

she looks fine, but still a runny nose. BUT the fluid from her nose is clear....Her poo was solid yesterday, today a bit runny, greenish. Her right eye closes a bit and looks runny...No coughing, but she looked liked she was sneezing by shaking her head when I noticed her runny nose.

If she has mucous along with a runny eye, then I would suspect she may have some type of respiratory illness going on. Try the VetRx first to see if there is any improvement. If the eye becomes goopy/has pus, then flush it out with saline and apply an ophthalmic ointment like Terramycin.

How is her leg doing - is she improving with that?

I thought it was improving but I took her out yesterday to get exercise and some grass and she didn't use her leg, used her wing to balance herself. I don't know what to do except splint the leg and foot?

You can try splinting it, but that may not help. I fear that since she is not improving and seems to have some other issues going on, that she may be suffering from something else besides injury.

At her age, this is the time that a disease like Marek's may start showing itself. I hope that is not the case, but it seems to be all too common lately. The only thing that you can do is to continue to offer supportive care and see that she is eat/drinking well.
I wish I had better answers for you and I hope that she starts to show signs of improvement.

I just read BYCs 'The Great Big Giant Marek's Disease FAQ.' Thanks WR. I'll observe. Gonna give the splint a try as well tho.
Sadly, also, yesterday one of my hens flew over our fence and my dog caught her. My little flock is down to two now. I learned a good lesson about my hen tho. I had only clipped my roos wings, not the hens. Much to learn...
Thanks for your concern and direction/suggestions
