Hopefully she just sprained it or twisted it jumping down off some thing or what not and with a little quiet time rest she will get better, separated from the others but where they can still see each other, she might be just fine in a couple days. Is she eating and drinking like normal? Can she walk at all?

What exactly do you feed her?
Certain nutritional deficiencies can show up as what appears to be leg injuries.

Do you feed treats?
Do you have Marek's disease in your flock?

Oh yeah I see you said she’s limping so she’s walking with a limp. I think rest is the best thing to try first I have a duck who had a broken leg and she couldn’t walk at all and at that time I was able to afford a vet and the x-rays and it was broken in three places but she healed I had to tube feed her and give her medicine but she’s fine now.
