Breathing problems?

18 years ago

I have two roman tufted, the other day I noticed one was "lifting" her wings. I don't know how to explain, not flapping but slightly lifting them from her body, setting them back down, slightly lifting almost like with breathing. Years ago we had a bird that the cat caught, brought to a vet and she had a punctured lung and she would raise her wings because she was having a hard time breathing. Well it sort of reminds me of that. I watched her for a while and she stopped and went along about her business. Well this morning, it's about 43 degrees today (it has been below freezing) so I let them out and I filled a small pool with water and they played for a long time. When I went in the barn to check they were both doing the "wing thing". Slightly raising them from their body then setting them back. My barn is dry and clean. When I noticed her doing this before it was a nice day, could this mean she is cooling herself. Does anyone know if this action means anything, or am I paranoid.
