BR hen with labored breathing

[Java_chicken_man]

i have a BR hen about 6 months old, acts normal,has a green runny poop, but still laying eggs regularly. My question is does anyone one have any diagnosis/tips to help me cure this hen. Any info would be awesome.

Labored breathing with no respiratory symptoms like eye/nasal drainage or sneezing can mean that she is in pain. But if she is still laying eggs, that's good.

Green diarrhea usually means they aren't eating much.

Does she have a swollen abdomen? Does she have sneezing or any other signs of respiratory ailments?

Does she open her mouth wide when she breathes?

nope she seems to rock back and forth when she breaths

If there are no other respiratory signs and she isn't opening her mouth as in gapeworm, then it may be pain.

Or it could be the start of a respiratory problem.

I hope someone will stop in and offer some advice.
