    Chicken Breathing Strangely

    My chicken Carrot has been breathing with her beak open. This has happened for a while and haven't really thought much of it because I thought it was that she was puffed out when I was trying to catch and hold her, considering I primarily used to hear it when holding her. She has been doing it...
