It doesnt really look like it isI can't really tell here. But from what I've read it's good to soak their feet in a warm Epsom salt bath. If it's not a bad case it should help. Either way I'm sure you're chicken will enjoy the soak!
No, it doesn't.It doesnt really look like it is
She does walk but he toes are bent a little. It just started this morning. The roost in the coop are 8 inches off the ground.I don’t see a bumblefoot scab or abscess. Is the chicken able to straighten the toes and walk normally? A limp can be caused by a sprained foot or leg, a sore toe, or something more serious as a vitamin B2 riboflavin deficiency, or Mareks disease.
What do i look for? Her foot seems fine from injury.No, it doesn't.
How high is your roost? What is your bedding and how thick is it?
Have you checked her leg for injury? (All the way up into the hip joint).
Palpate the leg and see if she gives a reaction. Compare it to her other leg and see if you feel a difference.What do i look for? Her foot seems fine from injury.

She may have injured it jumping off the roost if the roost is high and/or they don't have a padded landing.
It might be it might not be.Anything to do other than see if it heals? Her foot is not fully straightening when she walks. Could this be mareks?
