I have a chicken and yesterday I noticed she could barely walk and something was wrong with her leg. I immediately separated her knowing that the other chickens would pick on her. Today I checked on her and started researching things that could be wrong and I still dont know what it is. I have a picture of her feet incase it is bumblefoot but i cant tell.

I don't think I see bumblefoot, they look like nice healthy chicken toes. Is her leg going out to the side to where it could be a slipped tendon?
I accidentally STEPPED on my chicken's foot once. I felt terrible but she was limping for a couple few days and was then perfectly fine. Your chicken may have just hurt herself temporarily. I hope she recovers quickly!

Now if she seems really stiff you may want to be more cautious of something like Mareks disease...

Its not stiff when I was first checking for problems I was bending both of her legs and she would just pull away on her left leg which is the one that is hurting her... also she is one of my more skittish chickens and now when I go up to her she let's me pick her up and hold her without trying to get away
