The video wasn't perfect because another hen came at her, but she is usually high stepping like the end of the video all the time. Some other hens there have had an issue of impacted crop, and I've seen them eating feathers- I don't think they have a balanced feed. I've been trying to bring high protein treats like mealworms and scrambled egg, but I don't think it's working.All good suggestions. In addition to examining her legs/feet, I would check her crop as well.
I've never seen it with mine, but there's been a few people that have shared videos/descriptions similar and the hen was high stepping (like at the very end of your video) and the issue was the crop. Sour crop is something I would check. It may be harder for you to tell since you are not there very often. If there are other volunteers that are willing to help you monitor her crop that would be good.
