We have 6 laying hens. Three Brown Bovens and three Black Bovens. They are not quite yet fully grown, and the eggs seem to be a bit smaller. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Hello, I’m new at all of this. I have a laying hen I am concerned about. Here are my observations so far:

Her wattles are turning more red
Her eyes are closed most of the time
She does clean herself...
