Red on Chicken’s Leg

[The Easter Egger Inn]

I have a 7 week old GLW who I noticed just now has a streak of red on her leg. I have no idea where/how she got it or what it’s from. Does anyone have experience with this?

Photo of the whole bird?

A red streak like that usually indicates hormones. Totally normal looking to me, I see that with roosters and cockerels, but it's possible that you may see it on a 7wk old pullet.
