I have a one year old aracuna hen that started wheezing/gasping/sounds like struggling for air. my daughter says she sounds like a duck. I picked her up and felt down her entire throat to see if anything was lodged in it, nothing. she has no nasal discharge. it was very hot today, but even after it cooled down she was still making those noises. none of my other hens are making those sounds. her coloring is fine, feathers are not ruffled. What the heck??????should i have seperated her when i closed the barn? She was on the roost with all the others. Does anybody have any clue what the heck is wrong with her???? sick, eggbound????
