chicken in a puddle

hi, Im new, have had free range chickens for 2 years, love my 'spice girls' dearly, have lost 'baby spice' to being eggbound 6months ago so i am super obsevant now. I noticed a strange thing, 'Ginger' whom used to be the leader and the largest chicken, until 'Simon' the rooster came along has become the smallest chicken (over a 12 mnth period) Anyway i noticed she wasnt hanging around the group during rest times and is sitting herself in puddles of water!!?? I was wondering if anyone would know why she would do this & should i be concerned? She has no signs of being eggbound but I find it strange and would like to get a jump on things just in case. any advice would be appreciated. thanx Nic.

Have you checked her over thoroughly, no lumps or swellings? is she laying ok? eating ok? It could just be that she likes the feel of the puddle, I tried ducking mine in cold water when they went broody and they obviously liked the feel of the cold water on their bottoms! strange birds :blink: Oh and hi and welcome.

She's not one of those strange chx with webbed feet and go quack is she??
