My Chook keeps sitting down

[Gingers]

This might sound strange, but when I let the ladies out for their afternoon walk, one girl keeps sitting down all the time, while the others continually forage. I have checked her over and she seems ok, but I'm new to chickens so I don't really know what to look for! Any ideas?

Does she look in distress? Check foot pads for injuries? Any swelling? Stuck eggs? Closed eyes? Sleeping? Eating more/less? crop full or empty? Diet?

Maybe she is just tired. One of my chickens loves to sit down while the other one stands over her.

Some of my chickens do the same thing when there is snow on the ground and it is fairly cold outside.

mine love to "sun bathe".. they even roll slightly onto there side to soak up the sun
could she be just enjoying the sun???

Thanks all - I knew I might be just paranoid - she seems to be the 'strange one' out of the three, always goes off one her own while the other 2 are inseperable. Maybe she's just independent! Have checked her all over for anything wrong but all seems ok!
