Hi and welcome to BYC. I agree that the ER forum is the best place to get the best advice - some pics would help the peeps there to provide the best advice.

I'm assuming that you have checked her feet for any offending article that may have become embedded?

Yes. Her leg was a little swollen two weeks ago. Now nothing. She just wont walk on it and uses her wings as crutches. Her eggs are not really done looking either. Started laying a couple days before
