Lethargic Dominique - Egg laying time?

[TheIvoryKitty]

Hello all!

I've got a batch of 15 week old chickens, and as far as I know they are too young to start laying eggs. However, today I walked into the coop and my little Dominique was still in the hen house standing half-asleep in one of the nesting boxes (which they never get into). She was in there for a few hours and I noticed her crop was pretty empty. I tried to feed her but she wasn't interested. She just kept dozing off and waking herself up. Is this lethargic attitude normal for a hen that's getting ready to lay eggs, or should I worry that she's not feeling okay?

Thanks guys! - I always get tons of help on these forums!

Oh no, so what can I do? Just sit around and hope she feels better?

I don't know how she could have gotten sick. It's been pretty cold at night lately, but I live in California so our "cold" isn't really that cold.

She looks sort of puffy too....Picture
