lets play what is it

[sheena6292]

Is it a rooster or hen? And what breed?

and why is it holding up its leg?

Easter Egger. Rooster.

It might have bumble foot and a bad case of mites or it might just be molting and holding up its leg.

I don't see mites but he's quarantined anyways. Is bumblefoot contagious? I'm posting him in the breed section again too. Just wondered about that leg.

Bumlefoot isn't contagious, just painful for the chicken. Could you try to get a picture of his foot?
