Not these neighbors- they are Mr & Mrs. Stuck-Up Snobby Perfect Goody-Two Shoes! I've asked for their assistance before and was politely told in other words, "Do it yourself. We don't help others of your kind."

Definitely too far for me to be of help, I'm in Tennessee.
But stick around, we can at least talk you through stuff.

Thanks. Yup, I'll be staying around for a long time just even if it's only to be a pain in the backside.
I just got off the phone with my Uncle who says the rest of the chickens need to be debanded and I should be able to handle Mr.Rooster on my own plus yes, the one chicken does need to be treated for the infection.

I'm glad you were able to contact your Uncle.

If your rooster is fiesty, you can wait until dark when he is roosting. Take him off the roost, swaddle him loosely in a towel to help keep his wings under control, lay him down and go to work on him.

Mine is fairly agreeable to whatever I need to do to him. I trim his nails by myself - I just hold him in one arm and trim, but he's a goof too

You could try the NY state thread to see if anyone is close by https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/ny-chicken-lover.231485/page-5691

Good deal...I'll pop in a little late n see how it's going.

I know these aren't very good pics of the wound but these are best that I can get without traumatizing her anymore.
It's not the fact Mr.Rooster is first, it's just his long spurs scare the dickens out of me.

Hopefully these pics are better. A little bribery goes a long way!!!!

When you can, try to get some epsom salts to soak the leg in. Soak it at least once a day and apply some triple antibiotic ointment or Vetericyn to it.

It is swollen and red, with your description of the pus/fluid coming out it is probably infected. She may need some antibiotics to help clear it up, but try soaking for several days to see if there is any improvement.

Look on the bottom of her foot as well for any scabs.
