She had bumblefoot for about week . Is getting better but worst at same time. I don’t want anything to happen to here she my last hen from I got first, my other hen died and I don’t want anything happen to here because here friend died mysteriously. I can’t afford a vet they’re to expensive. I let her hangout with other hens because I heard isolating hen if have bumblefoot not good. She limp but she stop limping. Here foot is greenish color and smells very foul also here sking starting to peel on same foot. I soak foot in warm Epson salt with apple cider vinegar then I let foot dry then I but antibiotics ointment or honey because I hear honey good. Then I wrap here foot. She eat and drink but she walk a bit but not to far. She been walk more and more everyday. Should I isolate her or not? Help what do I do??

@Eggcessive can you help?
That does look bad. To me, it looks like the tissue on the foot is beginning to die. Have you been removing the scab and trying to squeeze out the infection? Do wear gloves if you try to do this.
I don't isolate for bumblefoot, but if your other chickens start picking on her, you should isolate her.
Here are some links about bumblefoot:
