Chicken sleeping while laying

Hi, my pullet Maisey sleeps in the nestbox, 5 minutes ago, she was very loud and chatty now she's in the nestbox laying with her head tucked in she did it yesterday aswell, is it normal?

is it normal?

No. I typically means they are the lowest on the pecking order and trying to hide, they are the object of affection from a cockerel or rooster and are trying to hide or they are sick.
Have you examined her to see if she has a swollen abdomen or that her crop is functioning correctly?
Do her poops look normal?
What is her behavior like when she is out of the box with the flock?

 

[peafowl_Lover]

She is very good with the flock always hanging with them, she laid her egg there now,

Is she acting broody at all? Mine start tucking themselves away in the nesting box for longer and longer periods of time when they start to get broody, but aren’t quite sitting yet.

No she doesn't seem to be broody but maybe it's early stages?
