I just noticed my hen not being able to walk out of the coop when I picked her up I noticed she had lime green poop stuck to her bottom. A little concerned, I did some research on it then took her to clean it off. As I was doing so, I not under her full half silkie plumage that there was blood. I used the vet spray to help the area and then started to peel the pine shavings and looses feathers from the area. I notice the bleeding wasn’t from any cut or anything. It was a HUGE HUGE tumor like growth on the back of her leg. Realizing this, I saw that there was another one above her foot on the same leg, only it wasn’t bleeding or quite as big. Not only were there two on her right leg, but the was also on on the top of her foot on her other leg as well. What is this and what do I do! I have researched trying to figure out what it is but nothing seems to match. Can anyone help? I have NO IDEA how to fix there or treat her.

I would take her to a vet if at all possible. Green poop is either an infection or bile from not eating enough--either way she is quite sick.

Does she get out to scratch and dust bathe at all? Her nails are super long and need a trim. The lumps could either be from ingrown feathers or tumors. Have you checked the rest of her body for more lumps? Cysts are generally a little softer/more malleable than tumors and if you cut into a follicle cyst it's filled with yellowish keratin and pus if it's infected (both are solid but not rock hard) and feather bits. If you can't take her to a vet I would soak her feet regularly in a warm epsom salt bath and see if there is any improvement and if any of the scabs/crust comes off. You might have to try cutting into one to see what's what.
