We don't get too cold in the winter...she does free range, but did your hens toe turn green...I am worried it is getting infected

We noticed it when it was losing colour, it eventually turned black. I don't re call a green.

I found this thread, maybe it will help you?

Green is a sign of bruising, and the red patch on the toe indicates that she hit it on something and lost a scale. I would clean everything off of it and spray the big red part on her toe with anti bacterial spray. Try to monitor her to make sure she doesn't further her injuries during the healing process. If you really want to, you can put a gauze pad over the missing scale and wrap the tow with medical wrap, but this is a risk because if you wrap it too tight you can cut off blood circulation. I had this exact thing happen, but it was my chicken's leg. Eventually the green went away and she is doing great now. I don't know what to do about the ear lobe and pink bump. thanks for the tag @Ducklingsandchicks

I think the bump is her oil gland.

I don't know if a natural salt and water anti bacterial spray will work, I've never used one. Is it homemade or bought? Personally I use Vetericyn.

Bought, you put in measured salt and water and plug it in

What brand, and can you post a pic?

Yes...and I see nothing wrong with her earlobe.

I agree that the bump at the base of the tail is the oil or preen gland. The green skin is bruising, and her leg scales are missing due to an injury. Saline can be used for wounds, but if disinfection is needed, 2% chlorhexidene is very good.
