My pullet keeps panting.

My mixed pullet is ALWAYS panting and has her mouth open. The other chickens pant but not as much as her. They have 24-7 acess to fresh water. Why is she still panting?

How hot is it in your area right now? They will pant if it's really hot. Make sure they have plenty of water and shade. A dirt area would be good for them also because they can dust themselves, and even dig into the dirt and just lay there to cool off. You can even try cooling them off with a light mist of a hose if you have one. I just hold mine up in the air and let the mist fall on them.

They always have acess to dirt. It's around 100 degrees in my area now, thats probably why thank you. I'll mist 'em off with the hose!
