The hen walks stiffly and her feet look somewhat knotty. She can climb up to the roost, but doesn't like jumping down, which suggests that her feet are in pain. She's about 3 years old, and first started noticeably having trouble with her legs/feet at about 1 and 1/2 - 2 years of age.
The rooster that was likely her father developed a condition very similar to hers that worsened over his life, so there's a possibility that this is hereditary. She's currently the only chicken in the pen with this issue.
Below are pictures of her feet and a video of her walking:
