Lethargic, puffed chicken. Please help me with a diagnosis.

What do you mean by she had a virus?
What virus did she have?
This was several winters ago. I never knew exactly what she had. Her eyes and nose were very weepy for about a week. She recovered but the following spring she never started laying. She started laying again about a year later but only one egg per week June-August. The eggs were long and narrowish. She's laid like this for the past 2 years. I figured the virus/cold must have damaged her ovary.

I’m sorry to hear that :hugs
 
Wow! I really do think they are related. Can I have a picture of hawke if you don’t mind?
It's hard to get a close-up of her because she is very skittish. I call her my wild chicken. Here she is taunting our cat Becky. When I bought her they said she was an Ameracauna. I bought my chickens from a P&A Pet Store in SE Pennsylvania.

Aww she’s so cute! She does look a little like Tillie.
