May want to search "bumblefoot" pretty common...would look like a cyst on the bottom of the foot

X2 that would be the first place to look. At the bottom of her feet, look for a dark scab.

Checked that, no scab or cyst looking things on her feet!

Then you may be looking at an injury to her leg. Examine the entire leg for any bruising or redness, swelling, or anything unusual. Does she put weight on the leg, drag it, or hold it up? How high are your roosts?

She is putting weight on it. It almost looks like her foot is turned in a little. Roosts are about 10" high. She is eating and drinking. And not holding the foot up when she is standing
