My Silkie hen has been panting a lot, and no longer likes eating mealworms? She gets excited and kills them, but then just leaves them and shakes her head at them. I still see her eating seeds and other feed so it's not like she isn't eating at all. She's not sneezing, but her cluck does sound a little strained perhaps? She just seems distressed in general. Any clue what might be going on? I'm concerned she may have some sort of respiratory illness.
