HELP!!! What is this??

[Bawkbok]

Alinas2010 offered a good suggestion. Sunshine and fresh air would help also for brief periods if you have a dog kennel or some place safe for her to rest outside where she could see / hear her flock.

Does anyone get to come in and visit her? Sometimes that can be good for healing.

Yeah, that's a good idea. I've been thinking myself about taking her outside for some time to enjoy being out, weather has been nice here lately. Not sure that I want to put someone else in with her though since she is still being treated for her infection in her foot. I wouldn't want another chicken to be exposed to what she has, especially with her comb issues too. But Bawkbok also had a great suggestion of putting her near her flock. I think I have another crate I could setup next to the coop and run so I wouldn't have to cart everything around every time (coop is kinda far from our house). Thanks for all the ideas!

Day 31 update:
Today, still working out her crop issues. She did not drink any of the molasses water on her own, so I've stopped with the coconut oil, massages, and dough crop meds as they don't seem to be helping (all of which is about 15ml). This allows me to instead tube 15-20 ml of the molasses water in her as that seemed to help clear out her system the most. I'm still treating her with the monistat and stool softner, 5 days in now. Her crop is only empyting the 15-20ml every 8+ hours or so. She did have more poop today than yesterday, so hoping the molasses is helping clear everything out. I've done more research and am now going to feed her egg when she has enough room for that so it hopefully won't make the sour crop any worse as her chicken pellets could (which it did as I witnessed 2 days ago). I just gave her 20ml of egg with some nutridrench since it's been another 2 days since she's eaten anything. It's been a crazy balance of keeping her nourished while still trying to treat whatever is going on in her digestion. I plan to check her often and tube as much in her as often as I can to get this taken care of and keep her well nourished.

Yesterday, I was able to soak her foot for about 45 minutes again. It looks notably smaller in size! A lot of the swelling is going down. YEA!!! I've only been soaking her once daily every other day since we've been working on the digestion issues. There are defintely some pus areas that I could remove, but I'd like to have a better handle on her digestion issues first before trying to remove them. Especially since she hasn't been able to eat much the last week. I think it would just be too stressful and hard on her system and make her too weak. I am still applying the disinfectant sprays, betadine, and sugardine mixture to her foot and wrapping it back up. Here are some pics of her foot from last night:
