Lost hen in my care

She may have dirt in her nares, happens all the time when they dig around. I see nothing unusual there. Sometimes, when they stand on the sides of their toes, it's because the nail is too long and doesn't allow the toe to place properly, but not always. Hers do not appear particularly long. I'm glad she seems to be feeling better!
 
It's different depending on liquid or powdered corid. Link is here - https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/updated-corid-and-amprol-amprolium-dosing.818879/
And judging by the poop you mentioned, ther might be some coccidia as well, and how you treat that is two teaspoons of corid (liquid meds) per every 4 quarts (gallon) of water.(corid is available at most feed stores) Usually I treat them for about four days after the first treatment, and the only water they should have available is the corid water. Hope this helps

Thank you!
I thought and was hoping it was just dirt, but with the green stain I thought I'd mention. Good to know it's not a concern.
If she does have any respiratory issues going on the oregano oil I put in her water should help with that (I only put one drop in and mix it so it's not too spicy for her).
Also figured out the enlarged folicles mystery, her crate was full of feathers this morning. Molting time!
