HELP! Hen making a gurgling sound!

[ChickBro]

Any runny nose? Difficulty breathing?

Not that I can tell.

Not that I can tell.

Do you have a local poultry vet near you?

Do you have a local poultry vet near you?

No I am pretty sure I don't.

All I can find is that it might be a respiratory problem?

I listened to that video. Is that the hen of which you speak? If so, she's likely got a crop disorder causing fluids to spill over into her trachea, causing liquid gurgles. She may need to be treated for sour crop or she may need a crop bra to help her empty her crop. Here is my aricle on identifying crop issues and treating them. https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...w-to-know-which-one-youre-dealing-with.73607/

Sometimes they do make communication sounds. Can you take her temp? Normal is 105 to 109. No congestion from nose?

How do I take her temperature? No there is no congestion from the nose.

The OP said the hen wasn't theirs, but the sound was the same.

Could it be Gapeworms?

I would listen to @azygous. She's very experienced in this field. Much more than I am, anyway. You can take them with a thermometer by mouth, if the hen lets you.
