Limping chicken

I'm worried she is a he..... I'm new to keeping chickens and I'm already down to 8 in my flock. I started with 11. 2 of my "ladies" turned out to be guys and 1 was taken away in the night by a raccoon or some sort of predator. I really hope I can keep this one. It's so sweet!- Katie F
