Swollen bottom and eye crusted over

So, I noticed yesterday my chickens eye was creamy and today it is crusted shut. Her butt was also caked with poop so I soaked her in a tub of warm water with an anti fungal soap. Once I clipped the feathers back I noticed a sack (I don’t know if that already exists for a chicken but it’s soft) then once she is out I sprayed her butt and eye with a fungal/bacteria infection spray from the feed store. She is now in a crate away from the other girls while she dries (it’s warm today so she’s comfortable.) in addition her poop is green and runny. Has anyone dealt with this before? No smells coming from her and she seems clean otherwise.
