Cuckoo Maran lying down a lot

[SconnieChickens]

Newish chicken owner with a weird question. I have a cuckoo maran that is about 6 months old, in a flock of 11. Not the best layer yet from what I can tell, and a few days ago there was a soft shell egg that I think might have been hers, and may have been laid off the roost. She is lying down a lot more, and in weird places at weird times. Like tonight, before they headed back to the coop, she’s just laying down in the middle of the yard, while all the others are pecking away getting their last bits to eat. She can and does move, and she goes after food/treats like all the others. From what I can tell she is eating/drinking normally. Her eyes seem fine and her comb is still red and not droopy. Over the summer she had some runny poops but it was during hot periods and I was probably giving them too many watery goodies like watermelon and cukes. Her poo seems fine now. She is hard to catch but it didn’t look to me like she had anything going on with her legs or feet. No parasites in any of my previous checks. Are some hens just...lazy like this? If she is a late bloomer egg laying wise could she just be trying to figure that all out?

Some birds are more inactive than others. If she's been like this for a while, but doesn't show any other sign of illness or discomfort, she might just be a lounger.

How do you check?
I do all exams off the roost after dark, they are much easier to 'catch' that way.

I just corner them in the pen. Last night I grabbed her off the roost and checked her over and I didn’t see or feel anything weird. I had concerns about egg binding but...I would think she’d seem a little worse if that was the case.
