I am still wondering what is wrong with my frizzles one foot
 
Poor Izzy! I'm not an expert but it doesn't look like bumblefoot - probably an injury like someone else suggested, especially if it's went on this long... Does Izzy limp?

There could maybe be something that Izzy is doing that is preventing the foot/ankle/leg from healing hence the green bruise color - does she perch or jump down stuff like steps or off a roost?

Maybe look into injured chicken feet/legs and see if any are similar to what Izzy is going through, they may suggest keeping her contained for a while to heal the foot I'm not sure!

These are just guesses, I hope you find out soon :)
 
She has had it since she was just tiny. I thought it was just a deformity, but now she's starting to limp with it. I will keep trying. And maybe I will just give the Bawktor a call since she's just now starting to limp.
