One of my hens was getting bullied a lot by the rest of the flock for a while back in the winter/spring. She stopped laying (and hasn't since) and has begun to display odd behaviors. She breathes very deeply and heavily. So much so that you can see her heaving from a distance. She breathes like this regardless of what activity she's been getting. She also has gotten quite fat and her feathers are significantly thicker and softer than the other chickens'.
For a little while, I was wondering if she was potentially broody, but she doesn't sit on any eggs.
She is currently eating normally, and the bullying has subsided, but she's still acting strange. Is there something wrong with her?
