Something is wrong with my chicken

Very true
After recording her, I believe she’s just hurt her foot. I’ve been doing other projects around the house, so honestly I haven’t been paying that much attention to them during the day.just occasionally glancing at them, making sure they’re alright. I open their door, make sure they all come out and feed them, then in the evening I go out and make sure each one has perched and close their door.
trying to post video now, as soon as I figure it out it’ll be up

One of my hens has started acting strange. She has started holding her wings out from her sides. ( they occasionally do this When it’s really hot out, so I wasn’t that concerned about that) she walks around just fine but when you pick her up and sit her back down, she does something strange with her feet, like she can’t move them or something. She just lets her feet go limp when you sit her down. She also acts like she can’t balance and get on the perch at night. She’ll get up to the nesting boxes after continuously flapping her wings stumbling up the ramp then I have to help her up to the perch. Also noticed I was short an egg, but I’m not sure if it was her or another hen that didn’t lay. (They also sometimes skip a day)
I would check the bottom of her feet and also take note if she's laying eggs or not.
Feel her abdomen for bloat or fluid. The balance issue along with not being able to get to the roost, I would lean toward symptoms of a reproductive issue unless you find something really wrong with the foot.
