Weird Behavior from My Barred Rock

[myawesomepullets]

So I have a variety of chickens, one of them being a Barred Plymouth Rock. I looked out at the chicken run for a bit today, just watching them (because it's very entertaining!), and I noticed our Barred Rock standing in one spot for a couple of minutes straight, not really doing anything. I think she was looking at something, but I'm not entirely sure. I was wondering if her just standing there is a bad thing.

If one of her eyes was pointing up she saw a bird/plane/Superman . If not don’t worry she could have fallen asleep with one eye open.

No, not bad....unless she does it all the time and is not eating/drinking.

It’s pretty normal as long as she isn’t doing it constantly. Is she just coming out of her molt? That can cause fatigue but is really no reason for concern.

She hasn't molted, I have a feeling she was just looking at a bug of some sort on our fence.

Is she at or near the bottom of the pecking order? I have one at the bottom who tends to do that occasionally. It like she knows it is best to not get involved in what the others are doing, or they will put her in her place. It’s not a constant thing, but I do notice it often enough. She eats, drinks, and lays fine, so I’m not worried about it.

She's not really at the bottom, actually at the top or second-to-top. She seems completely fine though!
