How is her breathing?

no its fall, so a bit chilly today, but I have her someplace nice. She is a very calm bird.

Thats good. Its chilly here aswell, this isnt related but make sure to add some coconut oil to her comb so it doesnt get frostbite

To me it seems like she is suffering from a respiratory infection.
I am not a fan of using antibiotics without a proper diagnosis, but if not treated she most likely will not make it. I would start a 5 day course of Amoxicillin.

How is her breathing?

she has her beak open. she is not making any sounds at all.

yes, but I don't have twitter, you tube, nor any other account where I can post videos. she is moving around, holding her wings a little low, very alert, and when she hears the other chickens clucking outside she responds with silent clucking. I can see her making clucking sounds, just cant hear it at all. No wheezing, or sneezing or coughing. Beak still open.
