Welcome to BYC!!
She could’ve gotten injured when a rooster mounted her.
do you have a dog crate that you can put her into while having her in the coop/run with the others? She needs to not move as much while she heals.
Do you have pictures of her leg?

Yes I was wondering if it was a roosters fault I do have a dog crate but I didn’t know if it would stress her and she could injure herself more I haven’t managed to get any picture as she doesn’t like me holding her as I think she is in quite a lot of pain. I’ll try and describe it to you so the bottom bit of the foot were the toes are idle all puffy and she limps severely there is no blood or oozing

If you can’t easily catch her, I would personally wait until bedtime to grab her.
She may be stress more if you don’t put her in a crate; she has to watch for roosters mounting her while she is in pain. She would be less stressful in a crate when she knows no one can get to her.

Thankyou for this do you think I should totally remove her from the rest of the flock and put her in my pen in a shed

If you still keep her contained put with the flock, you won’t have to do a see but no touch integration when she is ready to return to the flock. This would be less stressful for everyone including yourself, but some people don’t have room in their coop or run for a crate.

If you can't get pictures can you get a video?
