Recently our 5 year old black sex link hen, Penny, will sometimes start panting in her sleep. She will face the ceiling and open her mouth and pant. This only happens at night when she's sleeping, and only then when she is laying / sitting down. It seems to stop when she roosts on a perch or stands up.
She is still acting perfectly healthy throughout the day, and when she is awake the only time she pants is if she is stressed or too hot, and that is very rare. The weather here is pretty cool so i can't imagine it's heat-related.
I'm a little worried about this - any ideas?
Thanks for any advice
