I found my girl a week ago at the edge of the coop with crusty watery eyes, at the time , after spending said week apart from her sisters and constant eye washing her eye did get better and is better however her limp did not go away

I believed it to be a broken bone and with a pencil and medical tape I made her a homemade leg brace, I thought that'd help but I don't think so now, after 3 days her foot has been leaking clear fluid, her skin turns green and feels and looks like algae, the smell is gross but not like death or rot

I believed it would be bumble foot but I couldn't find a scab at all, the bottom of her feet really are fine! It's the top area that isn't looking good at all. Her joint of the same foot is also inflammed and beginning to bleed. So far the inflammation is only on one leg.

Her poops have been relatively normal, fluffy brown-green with white tops for the most part , she does poop watery poops and even all brown softer watery poops aswell , they don't smell awful and have no blood in them.

Just a clear discharge

The liquid came out here when I moved her toes , she wasn't secreting beforehand

Wanted to give an update on how my girls foot is doing , I took her outside where she began to dustbathe and she's walking around putting weight on the foot , no longer hopping around with the one good foot.

I did forget to mention but her scales of the bad leg have been falling off with softer replacement scales underneath, I'm sure it's her bodies attempt to help fight the infection?

I have a feeling she'll be fine and recover , especially with the antibiotics I've been putting in her water and feed
