This chicken is just different from the others or is she sick?

We have a cinnamon queen that's 12 weeks old from a batch of chicks that we have had since they were 3 days old. Initially, I just thought she was sort of a loner, but I'm worried enough to think about taking her to the local chicken vet. She stands more hunched than the others, almost like she's uncomfortable? She has a slightly limp when she runs, but she was up on something higher than she should have been and I think she may have maybe sprained her leg possibly? She bawks for the others when they leave the coop and she likes to lay down more than stand.

I know she isn't eggbound because she's young and hasn't started laying yet. I am just worried at this point because I feel like she's just different and almost uncomfortable? Any thoughts on this? She's our sweetest lady!
 
Please post some photos of the chick, the chicks and the poop. Thank you.

Is she pooping o.k.?
Crop filled at night and empty in the morning?
What do you feed?
How long have the chicks been outside on ground?
