Its possible she is dust bathing!

My RIR pullet is doing the same thing. I thought she was trying to lay to. But I kept watching her and is all she did was started rolling around. Then she would just sit there with her wings puffed out like before.

Its sounds like dust-bathing. Most pullets start to lay at 18 weeks.
