None that I can see. It's summer here compared to where you are. lol She doesn't seem to be in pain. (does a chicken make pain sounds like a dog?)Have you examined the foot? Maybe there is a small wound or laceration on the bottom. Sometimes my hens will do this, but I believe that its just because there foot is cold, I don't know if that would be a problem for you though.
Hopefully this helps,

Thanks, they have free calcium. Her foot seems dead, it just flops around. She has stopped laying.... its sad..when a chicken comes into lay bone texture changes becoming more porous, this making it quite a lot easier for them to do minor internal damage to the toes,feet and legs. in my experience id increase the calcium intake and give her a week to sort herself out im sure she will be fine

Update, while I was out chillin with the peeps I had a chance to take a look at Thelma again. She still doesn't use that foot and today while I was holding her I was checking her wings... when I lifted the right one she would flap it and pull it away as normal. However when I did this on her left wing she would not move it or pull it away, it just sort of fell back into place then I saw it was drooping slightly.... I think I should really end this soon. But don't know if I can.
I was told when I purchased them that they were. This and answers like them I have learned to take with a grain of salt. Just like the "It's a pullet" guarantee...
