Chicken is lethargic and not herself - please help!

I took her to the vet and it turns out it was very swollen. I had no idea, I thought that was normal. Anyway, she's on antibiotics and hopefully she'll be back to normal. I was right about the breathing too. Poor girl is working hard just to breathe.
High production laying hens are prone to reproductive problems, which in turn can cause infections. I think it has more to do with their breeding and genetics than your care and animal husbandry. I hope the antibiotics help.

I'm curious, did she lay at all when you got her?
