¡HELP! WHEEZING CHICKEN

[arianna7]

I am not sure if the link I provided can be accessed (lol), but I just went outside and found one of my girls weezing. I am not worried because she is drinking, eating, and somewhat breathing, but if somebody could help that would be nice. Do I do anything. I am quite busy, but i took a flashlight and looked down her throat and couldn't see anything. What do I do?

Is she normal other than that? It could be just stridor, debris in the airway.

I had a chicken doing the very same thing and I fed her chick crumbles mixed with coconut oil for a couple of days. It went away.

Yes, she is going about her normal scratching, eating, and drinking.

Thank you, I might try this!

It'll go away by itself, usually I'm a few days. Don't worry

She is breathing very fast. Is it very hot right now? It sounds like panting. What has she been eating? Have you heard any sneezing or coughing? Can you offer some water to her and make sure there is fresh air and good ventilation? Stridor is a wheezing sound made when they get a piece of feed stuck in the throat. She doesn’t sound exactly like that. Her breathing is more rapid. Have you seen any respiratory illness in the flock recently, or have you added any new birds?

If she seems overheated, wet her feet and legs with cool but not cold water.

It was probably the heat, as it has not continued into today. Thank you for your help!
