One of my 3 year old chickens (Americana) is breathing with her mouth open and making weak sounding noises. She is not eating well and appears to be getting weak. She is also missing the feathers around her neck. Do y'all know what she has? And what should I do?
 
I have not wormed them. Don't really know about mites or how to check. Have no rooster and the chickens all get along good. She may be a little thin, but was not big to start. Just made a mush of laying pellets and she is eating it.
 
Just saw her poop and it was clear, also I notice her comb is a little purple not bright red like the other one. Gave her some water and a dropper of olive oil. She's just sitting in the flower bed now.
 
Do not put her in cool water. If she needs to be cooled off simply mist her breast feathers. The last thing she needs now is to be put in shock by lowering her body temperature too quickly.

Bringing her inside will probably be sufficient for cooling her off.
