Injured 10 month old BO, Not walking. Foot injure? Help!

Could she have been injured by a rooster mating? I would check her vent by inserting a clean finger inside to feel for a stuck egg or mass. You may want to give her some calcium or Tums just in case she is having egg problems. Sometimes being egg bound can cause temporary paralysis. If she continues being lame, you may want to make her a chicken sling chair to get her upright, keep cleaner, and make it easier to reach food and water. Here are some pictures:

We don’t have roosters as they are not legal in the city. I checked for an egg bound but that’s not the case. Would the chair also help if it’s a broken toe?
 
I think if it was just a broken toe, she would still be trying to get up and walk, but it might cause a limp. I think there is more going on. How does the whole foot and leg look?

I see. The leg and foot looks normal to me, but this is the first time I have chickens so it’s hard to tell. Let me try and take some pictures... thank you for keeping up with the replies!!! I really appreciated!!
 
I think it was a mild swallowing but I’m not really sure if it was swollen or not. She is not standing it all. Just moves little by little when wants to, or to eat and drink water. She was having diarrhea but I think because of the electrolytes/vitamins I was giving her. I stopped that and the diarrhea stopped. On the coop I have a 2x2 face down for roost. For her I don’t have any right now as she can’t use it. What I think it’s that she slipped on a pile of snow that we have in the backyard... the vet here is not an avian vet he does exotic animals thou. They are going to called me back to see how much will an X-ray be.
2x4 wide side up is a little easier for large chickens.

When you lift her, can she pull her legs up? Wondering if she has the ability to move them without weight.

Yes, when I lift her she kicks them up and down. But one way more than the other one. That’s the one I thought had the broken toe. When she is resting she keeps the legs folded under her. She manages to move around her crate (not walking, just little by little). When I brought her outside to spend time with her sisters, the crate was on top of soil and she tried to dust bath, I moved the crate over concrete because I don’t want her to force her leg trying to dust bathing

So it sounds like she has some control over the movement. That's a good thing.
Did you get any pictures of her legs?

I took theses today. I’m thinking now that it may be her shoulder. Because she really moves a lot when I try to carry her and touch the left shoulder. She is still eating, drinking and alert as usual.
