Here is a link to a video of my chicken. If anyone sees something I didn’t or has any ideas, please help. The joint on the one foot maybe looks a little swollen compared to her others, but I’m not sure. Thank you!

 
The chickens' leg can be sprain from a possible fall from roost.
Not sure how your coop, and roosts are situated.
A common mistake peeps make, with placement of roost,,, They place roost way too high for the floor space below,, to allow for a gentle glide down. Result,,,,, is a vertical crash landing.
I'm not saying that is situation in your case, but is very common.
Also, a jump down from a fence, onto irregular hard surface Could/would also cause such injury.
Check for possible cuts, or such on bottom of foot pad.
Wishing chicken quick recovery.:love

WISHING YOU BEST,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, :hugs
