This morning she was sneezing really hard and toppling over after each sneeze so I grabbed her put some vet RX on her and shoved half a clove of garlic down her throat let's see how she manages
Empty crop felt normal,she is alert and eating up a storm as always, and in 10 minute observation, did not open beak once. Only up close can one hear the rattle, and she doesn't seem sad. She can also run a marathon if one is trying to catch her, and is strong so she's hard to hold onto. In...
Thanks a ton for the reply. No she doesn't gag and the crop feels fine. Every time I rub her with the vetrx,she seems to get better but after a day or two she begins to open beak wide and the rattle comes back. Eyes look fine,but she does have the occasional sneeze.

Do I just...

Without that help my other chicken (which seemed a lot worse than this one) wouldn't have healed. That one miraculously survived...
