Pro - Does anyone else's nest boxes get soaked in rain?

Hi

My oldest girl Mabel (6 1/2 yrs old) has started with pretty laboured, whistling sound breathing. She is fine in every other way - eating, drinking, good red comb, active with the others although she does sit and rest more. She's still be laying a couple of eggs a week but today I really noticed her throat sucking in and out and heard her raspy breathing. Is this a case of old age catching up with her?

X Thanks

Daisy - Black Orpington

Could simply be age Monty, but she may be overweight and worth checking her throat for cankers. Some of ours also develop a pollen allergy this time of year. She's doing well to still be laying at that age though!
