Is there a black spot on her foot like this

Is she ingested a toxin such as Clostridium botulinum=Boutlism she wouldn't be eating or drinking and the paralysis signs would be much worse.Same as Mareks.

There is no black spot on the bottom of her foot. That's great to hear it's not Boutlism I was worried about that. -3ChickenFriends
 
Any red inflammation on the legs?.Does it feel hot?.You can give her Baby Asprin(81mg) to reduce pain in the legs.How does her crop feel?

There isn't any redness on her legs they are warm though. Her crop feels pretty normal, I've dealt with crop problems before which wasn't fun at all but was worth saving my other hens life. Last night, Buttercup pooped some dark green and then some bright green tablet shaped poops. This morning it was mostly a smelly liquid, not to mention the green poop carried a lot of water with it as well. I'm worried about that a lot so after giving her St. John's Wort this morning, we're going to give her some regular dampened feed and some yogurt. I read on another thread St. John's causes the chicken to get worse before they get better. I'm hoping that's the case here because she hasn't gotten any better. Yesterday we gave her half a capsule but today we gave her the whole capsule. 300 milligrams but I don't doubt for a second she's going to have all 300. What else could we do? We're really trying to save her life.
