Welcome to BYC. At 5 weeks of age it may be an injury such as to her sciatic nerve. (This can also be caused by a nutritional deficiency) She may be in pain when she puts weight on her leg. ( I'm learning a lot about this because of my own little injured pullet.)
When her legs are not banded, do they splay to the sides? Or do they splay one forward and one behind her?
