I'm not sure what's wrong with her, but one of my chickens has a limp foot. As in she limps when she's walking. I took whatever crap off her foot, that however didn't stop her from limping. She like most of my other birds don't like getting picked up. What else to do???
My Chicken has a bad foot
Manipulate the leg carefully and see precisely what it is that hurts her. It may be 'bumblefoot' which is caused by something lodging in or merely infecting the 'pad' -there is a thread way back somewhere...
Here's one thread, there are more...

Good luck with her foot Rhodiegirl. I am off to class.
Any scab or black spot on the base of the pad? That would be a good sign of bumblefoot. Otherwise, it could just be an injury. I have a hopping rooster at the moment. I felt up and down his leg very carefully and checked for foot problems but no sign of anything. It's been nearly a week and he is just starting to put weight back on that foot. I have no idea what happened but maybe it was equivalent to an ankle sprain or something, which isn't really visible.
