    Respiratory or gapeworm? HELP!

    Hi! I have had two chickens start doing this (see video)... I haven’t noticed any other symptoms, just this. With weather changes I’m thinking it could be respiratory, or is it gapeworm? Should I treat for both just to be cautious? Thanks in advance!

    Hen is extremely pale, lethargic; not eating or leaving coop

She started molting the other week when it was in the 80's here, and right now it's been in the upper 40's, so I imagine that's quite a sudden change for her to adapt to, given she doesn't...
