Does this look broken?

I noticed a couple of days ago that one of my RIRs was limping slightly and favoring one foot when standing in place. There are no external injuries, but one toe did look a little swollen. She seemed to be managing fine with the flock, so I decided to give it a couple of days and watch for any changes. This morning I was checking her out again and noticed the toe looks a little crooked compared to her other foot. I’m no expert on chicken feet, so I thought I’d get a second opinion here. It’s the inner toe on the right foot in the pic.

She does try to pull her foot away when I touch it, which tells me it does hurt because she’s usually very calm. I only really noticed it because I was looking for injuries, like I said she’s been favoring that foot for a couple of days now. The swelling was the only thing abnormal.
