My 2 yrs old Buff has been acting very strange. Going to roost early, not running after food or even getting out of the coop to free range. today I found her sitting in the nesting box panting. I picked her up and put her on the ground and she has her wings spread out and panting. anybody know what might be going on?
 
She might be overheating I usually give my chickens a treat (water mixed with chicken feed and other treats that's been frozen) if you take her inside be careful because it could shock her system
 
It's not hot outside,Temp is around 79 and cloudy. I'm very scared she's ill. She hasn't been herself in a few days
 
Is there a feed store near by or do you know anyone in 4H or FFA? They might be able to help a lot more than I can. How does she usually act and hows she acting now? I've had a hen do this before but she was fine in a few days.
