I noticed this morning that one of my chickens is breathing with her beak open. It's not too hot where we're at, in the low 70s. It's been hotter here before and she seemed fine. Last week I thought she might have coccidiosis so I put some Corid in their water. This morning I gave them some plain yogurt with oatmeal, hard-boiled eggs and spinach. They've had this before and seemed fine. She usually eats a lot so I was wondering if maybe she got something stuck in her throat. Here are some videos of her. Does it look like I need to bring her to the vet?




 
Just wanted to post an update:
My mom said maybe the chickens were overheated because they're getting bigger and are in a smaller coop so it was probably warmer than what I thought. She told me to give them some cooling foods. I gave them some cucumbers and butter lettuce and the chicken isn't breathing with her beak open anymore! Glad it was just that. I did a Google search and saw mentions of worms or respiratory illness and freaked out.
