Limp - but why?!

First 3 are bad foot - had a hard time getting her to unclench 🄺
Next is her leg of bad foot.
We have felt all along her leg and toes and feel nothing out of place.

Has she started laying eggs yet?

I don't see anything that stands out about the foot/leg.

I'd let her rest and limit activity to see if that helps.

Do make sure she's eating a nutritionally balanced poultry feed, are limiting treats like scratch/mealworms, etc. Provide oyster shell and grit free choice.

Yes! She gives us good sized eggs at least one a day. She has layer mash available all the time. Hubby is getting oyster shell tomorrow and I'm giving her grit. She has all the bugs & worms nature provides! She got 2 cucumber slices and about 1TBS of scratch today.

So she's laying with no issues, I had just wondered if she may have been having a hard time with an egg and it was pressing on a leg nerve.

I thought she may have been laying at this age, I had 3 Sapphire Gems (only 1 left now) and they started laying fairly young and were good layers.

Well. I think just seeing if some rest and limited activity will help. You can give her 1/4 tablet human B-Complex daily to offer leg support.
