I am glad it is going well

I have a question about Brahmas. I only have 4 hens....1 dark brahma, 1 golden laced wyndotte, and 2 RIR.... Although my brahma is larger than the others, she is about a month younger as is the wyndotte. Ok, now to my question. My brahma seems to breathe thru its mouth a lot and I was watching it drink today and every once in a while ( maybe 1/4 of the time) she would drink then stretch her neck out as she kind of barked...can't think of any other term. Wouldn't do it all the time at all. I'll see if I can attach a pict of her from about 2 weeks ago. but it doesn't show her breathing out of her mouth like she does a lot. I have had all 4 of them for about 2 1/2 months now and no signs of weight loss or problems in any of them. I didn't know whether this was a trait of the brahmas. She's beautiful and can't wait for her eggs but it will probably be a while. She is about 7 months old now. I think! LOL ....got them as pullets..
