This morning I went out to feed my quail and found one of my hens (about 7 months old) sitting in the middle of the enclosure, feathers puffed up very fat, awake but not moving around, even after being poked a bit. I picked her up and she didn't resist, but when I flipped her over she did respond, so she's not completely out of it. I set her next to the feeder where she resumed her puffed and lethargic state and she hasn't moved from where I put her for 2 hours. It's 38°F in their enclosure, but none of the 10 others are acting chilled. How do I identify if something is wrong? Should I bring her inside? Did I just interrupt her nap?
Food: My flock is being fed Kamblach 20% Flock Maker.
Water: They have a waterer that gets refilled daily and no standing water anywhere else in the enclosure.
Poop: I can't tell what her specific poop looks like but no one seems to have unusual poops in there.
Pic of the puffball attached.
