Hen with a limp

[Chucknbob]

Yesterday I noticed one of my Marans isn't keeping up with the rest of the girls. She is walking with a limp, and when she stands still she stands on one leg. She's still spunky and eating well. I didn't see anything wrong, but I couldn't catch her to look at the bottom of her feet.

Any ideas on what may be going on, and what should I do?

Its important to catch her and see if you can look at her legs and feet, its possible she might have bumble foot which is characterized by a black looking scab on the bottom of the foot pad.. good Luck!
