She isn't sitting in the nesting boxes at all that I can see... As for puffing? I don't know. She talks to me all of the time. D'uccles have a funny little chatter. She's usually pretty puffed up on her perch, but that doesn't seem different to me.
She just ran from me in the back yard, that's not normal... No, no noises. She actually seems quieter than normal. Isn't it early for molting?

Thank you for your suggestions, everyone. :)
Pickles (olive egger) pulled through. We never did figure out what was wrong, but whatever it was it has passed and it wasn't contagious! Phew!
Her comb does seem a little paler to me, but overall, after checking her thoroughly from head to toe, she seems fine. She is used to being held and will generally put up a small fight, which she is still doing. But she is relatively docile and will almost always let us hold her anyway. Today she...
