Green Nostrils / weirdly shaped hen

Good suggestions from Bawkbawk.

You can use a wooden toothpick or small tweezers to clean out her nares. You can use a baby wet-wipe or a Boogie Wipe (saline wipe) - really a thin wet fabric that won't tear is what you need if you want to wipe the area after the gunk is out. You can fold that over the end of the toothpick after you moisten it with clean water. Blunt the toothpick first, and wrap her in a bath towel and maybe have someone help you hold her so she doesn't squirm. You'll need to firmly hold her head. She'll hate it, but breathing is a priority, so I'd do it anyway.

Sometimes if you give them a dog bowl to drink out of they'll clean their nares on their own. I give water in a dog bowl periodically because normally they get a horizontal nipple waterer, and it helps them keep their beak and nares clean if they drink from a dog bowl occasionally.

Good luck!

Yellow poo can sometimes be a sign of ascites or water belly. There is no cure for this. It is caused from liver disease common in reproductive infections, cancer or fatty liver disease. Her labored breathing can also be a sign of ascites. Does she have a large belly that feels like a water balloon? I've never dealt with water belly but I've read where you can drain it using an 18 gauge needle inserted into the abdominal wall. There is always a risk of infection or death when draining so if this is something you think is necessary, we will need to solicit help from experts, which I will do here:

Green poo is a sign of undernourishment.

If they drink excessive amounts of water at one time, it is not uncommon for them to throw some back up. What color is that and does it occur every time she drinks?

Have you felt her crop and what does that feel like?

Pictures of her bumblefoot might help. There are many threads here on how to treat bumblefoot and also in the Articles tab, Learning Center which includes instructions on how to wrap the foot.
You would soak her foot in tepid water with epsom salts for about 10-15 minutes, apply Prid, apply a non stick gauze pad and wrap with vet wrap, being careful not to cut off her circulation, so not too tight. You would repeat this process until it is healed, it can take several days to weeks depending on the severity of the bumble.

Thank you so much replying! I had a girl with ascites last year and it’s definitely not that. (Thank goodness!!) I’m thinking maybe a Vitamin A deficiency. I’ve heard that it can mimic a respiratory disease and often comes with skin issues such as bumblefoot. The water she throws up is just water with no color. She doesn’t always throw up after drinking, just occasionally. I’ll recheck her crop tonight, but was pretty small and hard yesterday.

I really appreciate your guys’ support

Brought her inside to wash her feet. Her eye is swollen and keeps scratching it against her feathers.

She also pooped inside and there was something that looked like bloody tissue. Her comb is a lot paler than yesterday. I’m probably going to put her down if she doesn’t look any better tomorrow. It’s no way for a chicken to live

I wouldn't be so quick to put her down if she's eating and drinking and being active. Do you have a full body photo? Just judging from one you posted I would guess she's got wry neck that never healed. One of mine has that, she breathes louder than normal and is prone to ear infections, but she lives a happy life with her little friend. I'd give yours a chance, especially if the others aren't picking on her

Thank you for the kind words. That's interesting to hear about the wry neck and ear infections. I am just concerned about the suddenness of the swelling and pale comb. She's a sweet girl and is admittably my favorite. I'll feed her some selenium rich food to see if that helps.
She's sleeping right now, but I'll send you some pictures tomorrow when I treat her bumblefoot.

Her name is Stormpuff and she's an angel. Whenever I talk to her she makes this funny noise like she's saying,"What's wrong with your voice?!" If she makes it through this I am going to make her her own palace.
