if you could help with sex and breed would help
 
What has she been around, for instance has she been around high roosts or debris on the ground? Check the bottom of the foot for red spots or circle scabs. Do you see any raised scales on the legs or odd looking spots on the leg?

edit to say I'm 82% sure Coal is a silver duckwing old english game bantam hen.

hi i could not see any thing on her legs i made a mistake its her left leg she cant get anywhere high when i was looking and the leg hang down it seemed to twich almost like she was in pain its sunday evening what can i give her
 
I would give her electrolytes if you have any. I'd keep her in a crate or box seperate from others and keep it dark so she stays calm. I'm not an expert by any means. Hopefully tomorrow you'll get better answers. Can you see the joint in her leg and see if the tendon looks slipped? It'd probably a sprain since you can't feel any broken bones or redness.
