Hen can't Stand/ nasty bright green/white poo

I have a young chicken of less than 6 months old. started when I noticed her dragging her wing, treading on it. I bandaged it in place with a vet wrap. she was not happy after that - she was wobbly but I thought that was a balance thing. then I noticed her eyes were not bright and wide open. searched the net and found that I could use optrex - put a drop in each eye for a few days.

She grew more and more listless will not eat or drink - she cannot walk and I have to pick her up and put her in the nest box at night to shut her up. and lift her out in the morning or she will not bother. I left the wrap on for about 10 days but she was so unhappy that i took it off. I place her on the ground and she rolls about a bit until she is fairly upright with her feet in front. Her droppings are loose and green and while in colour?

any ideas. The other hen I bought at the same time is fine - just broody
 
The not standing up can be so many things. If its worms, they will have lost weight. Mites, they will be paler than usual. It could also be cocci, and I believe that the legs out front thing is a symptom of Mareks. There is a lot of threads on Mareks and cocci already on this site that you can check out.
