    Gasping for air

    My four month old Orpington is having a tough week. She is much lighter than her same age friend, but she appears to be eating enough. Yesterday she appeared to be gasping for air. Any ideas? Last week one our eight 4 to 5 month-old chickens died overnight, no sign of trauma.
