I've been consistently having this exact same eye problem in so many of my juveniles.. i really dont know what to do

Eye problem: only effects 1 eye and its bubbly.. then in a few days its swollen shut
Leg problem: never had this problem before but it looks like her leg is exploding, its only 1 leg

I've been trying to treat as best as I can but I dont even know what I'm dealing with

I dont see any mites thats the thing.. I've already gotten rid of her actual body mites a while ago and have never seen any since then, it popped up around 2 weeks ago and several more are appearing now, but no bugs
 
Have you seen mosquitoes and any fowl pox in your flock? That is what the scabs look like. It lasts about a month. The bubbly eye could be a symptom of mycoplasma (MG,) a chronic respiratory disease. It can respond to certain antibiotics such as Tylosin, oxytetracycline and Denagard/TiaGard. Here is where I have bought Tylosin:

Can I still breed her if she has mycoplasma? I had to put down my gold laced polish baby for it since it got so bad he wasnt eating or drinking anymore.. and im scared thats gonna happen to her too
 
That really looks like fowl pox scabs to me. Mosquitoes spread it. I would get some Tylosin or Tylan soluble powder from your vet or from Jedds.com MG is contagious, and your flock has already been exposed most likely. They should all be considered carriers. It can spread to the hatching eggs. Once she is free of symptoms she may not be as infectious. Stress, such as molting or extreme weather can bring about symptoms of MG.

Good thing all the exposed are nowhere near laying.. hoping they'll be okay 😅
