Struggling to breath

[Humpty doo girl]

One of my girls has fallen ill , yesterday she was fine ,this morning I found her sitting in the middle of the coup I think she got rained on but that shouldn't bother her but I noticed she wasn't moving ,but was breathing heavy no wezzing just sitting with her eyes closed she is an old bird and doesn't lay any more ,she also appeared to be very heavy ,I have separated her from the others ,she is not eating just sitting in the cage. ,I worried as I love my girls ,Humpty doo girl any suggestions .
