Broken leg, foot or toes? *new chicken owner*

Yes, the left foot does seem a little swollen. I agree that I would keep her in the brooder, and only separate if needed. She gets around pretty well so far.

In that still picture I see the slight swelling of the top of her foot. It's not super evident in the video. Just separate within the brooder a bit if she's getting bullied or having trouble getting enough to eat/drink.

Okay that helps, thank you for responding!

Would it help to soak it in Epsom salt water ?

Thank you for your support and advice! She seems to be fully recovered, so must have been something small

Thanks again for your help and support! She seems to be recovered as far as I can tell, so must have been something small.

Glad she's better now.
