I don’t know the exact age of my chicken but she weighs 1.5kg.
SHE seems perfectly fine too, no symptoms of any disease.
And she is still not laying eggs.
What do you think?

But, she already weighs 1.5kgs and Google says that at that weight she is supposed to be laying or at least have a red comb. (2kg is supposed to be an adult hen)
Google will also tell you you're dying from some rare disease if you have a cough.

Being of age to lay eggs doesn't have anything to do with how much a chicken weighs. There are tiny bantams that will never weigh that much and still lay eggs, and there are massive hens like brahmas or jersey giants that will weigh far more than that before they start to lay. Your pullet looks like a red sexlink and is just too young to start laying. She'll probably start laying in a month or so, just be patient.
