Please help

Can anyone tell me what is happening here? This chicken is 9 years old. I had to separate her from the rest of our tiny flock about 6 months ago when a bigger chicken bit her on the nose. It got infected and was treated with an antifungal cream. She ended up with a calcification ( what the vet called it) and he said it would fall off. It did, but a new one formed, along with one on the other side as well. Then she got lice, which was treated with elector psp. Now, in addition to the wart like calcifications which fall off, bleed and reform, she has yellow scabs and smells horrible. She also seems to ooze something smelly but I'm not certain where it comes from. She is a mess and I don't know how to help her. Thanks

9 years old? She's clearly suffering horribly. Why not put her down and end such misery? This is just awful...

Yes. This was my thought too. Vet (the only way I can do this) thought it could heal. I am leaning towards euthanasia but want to get other opinions. I have had many chickens but she was my first.

I would put her down. Here eye on the right looks like she cannot see. There are several quick ways to put her down humanely, such as cervical dislocation or cutting the jugular vein. So sorry about your hen, but it seems like she may be suffering.

I very sorry about your hen

I agree, it's time to put her out of her misery.

Will the vet put her down for you? I'm sorry, it seems you and your hen are both suffering.
