This is Martha, she is a 6 month old ameraucana. Today is the first time I noticed something was wrong because she was limping a bit. This is my first flock and I just want to make sure before I try to treat her. I’ve been reading about it and I’ll watch some YouTube videos too before I try but if I would not mind some tips from more experienced chicken tenders.

That looks more like Footpad Dermatitis. I recommend that you purchase Vetericyn antimicrobial Wound Care spray and spray the footpad. Hopefully it'll eventually heal in given time.
Ensure soiled bedding is removed/changed out frequently as well as any moist areas inside coops kept dry. Keep everything as dry as possible and pick up and dispose of feces and any other areas where feces is concentrated.
