Is this bumblefoot? What to do, hen limps very badly!

And the limping one laid an egg too.

I gave them aspirin and vitamin d (about 400-500 IU for each hen), changet bandage and oinment ang gauze pad. The one that was sitting and limping seems fine after laying that egg - roosts, doesn't limp and doesn't sit. The only limping one just went to bed (crate with straw)

Isolated hen breathes with open beak when i checked on her, should i be concerned? Or is it just from stress?

Okay. I think she may be shaking because she has not enough vit. D.
A hen living in a basement without vit. supplement could get seriously ill- can you get some for her?
