Tired old Rooster

I have four pullets. I purchased them a month ago at three months old. Due to my Spanish not being great, I mistakenly believed they were all mutts, but was later informed that three of them are pure Plymouth Rock, while the fourth one is a Plymouth Rock mixed. Same Dad, different Mom's. I suspect the mutt, who is the biggest, may be as much as two weeks older than the other three. All doing great, in all respects as far as I can tell.
Now to the kangaroo issue. All of them walk normally, while foraging and thanks to pooch running by them really fast, the other day on her way back to the house after her toilet visit, I was able to see that they all do the high speed dash just fine. However, when the bunch decide to trot about twenty feet to a new bug find, one of the Plymouth Rock pullets, does a sort of jog/trot that often becomes a hop resembling a kangaroo.
Would that be a sign of a medical issue, or is she just an oddball who likes doing it that way?
