Can Doms get issues with weight? For the past 2-3 months Bubbles no longer looks like her old sleek self and I'm worried that it's affecting her health. I sometimes see her breathing with her beak open after running &/or after eating. Her comb also looks sort of purple at those times, so I'm very concerned. It's not like they get a lot of treats but when I put down their feed dish, Bubbles is the 1st to eat due to being top hen. Same thing when scratch grains are thrown around. It's a feeding frenzy & she grabs as much as she can and then pants afterwards. The rest if the flock engages in the same behaviors but are breathing & looking normal / healthy. Bubbles is laying and her face/comb are normal color the rest of the time.
