If that's her only symptom, relax, it's probably just due to sudden change in the weather from cool to very warm. Panting is a normal reaction to this. Make sure there's plenty of fresh, cold water to drink.
If panting is accompanied by behavior such as moping immobile off at the edges of the run with her tail held low and flat, and poops that are scant, watery, with white and green in them, then you may have a sick chicken. If the comb shows tinges of a dusty purple, you may have a chicken in respiratory or cardiac distress.
