Puffed up hen

[TRISHA CANZLER]

I have noticed that one of my hens has been kind of puffed up lately, she still goes out in the run and hangs out in the yard and she seems to be eating and doing well. But when I went to close the run tonight she was all puffed up and I was petting her and she dropped a egg right from the roost. I have been finding eggs underneath the roost lately and wondered who was doing it. She's not lethargic and doesn't look like she's not doing well she's just puffed up! Any ideas?

She could be broody. Watch her.If she sits on the nest box for a very long time,she is broody and is trying to hatch eggs.
