Can you get a video of her?
Upload video to Youtube and provide a link, or add to your BYC Gallery and let us know where to find it. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/how-to-upload-videos-to-the-gallery.1631126/

Feel of her body, are there any air bubbles or feeling of air pockets under the skin?
