Chicken breathing with mouth open at night. Too hot?

She sounds hot and is trying to cool off.

I have a hen who breathes with her mouth open in her bed area. This happened two days in a row now and I’m wondering if it’s too hot inside? She started doing this yesterday afternoon when she was laying an egg. It was 63 f out there. Then she also did it yesterday night, but the weather was around 55 f. Today she’s doing it again. There’s a little window covered in wire that is usually open but we covered it up last year during winter. It’s starting to become Spring and I’m wondering if I should take the coveroff. She is breathing with her mouth open and had her wings held away from her body. It’s 61 f right now.

OMG!!! I am having the same problem! I brought her to the vet a month ago when she had been doing this for a few weeks (ONLY AT NIGHT PERCHED). he put her on antibiotics for two weeks and nothing changed. He said when he opened her mouth it was clear every time but the tenth time he was able to see some fluid. But nothing that was concerning at the time. Please email me: [email protected] I’d like to compare chickens and exchange info.
