How is she doing?She was fine yesterday and today wheezing and sneezing. Can chickens get upper respiratory infection? Puffed up, no nasal discharge.
Had her since she was a day old. No new hens or chicks. Only have 4 hens . We put her in a dog kennel in the bedroom. Other 3 are fine. She’s 2 and hasn’t laid in a year. Her breathing is faster but ate some cantaloupe and scratch. Congestion seems better. Sits with tail real high. Abdomen feels a little swollen. No mucous discharge. Don’t know how to upload the videos. When I try to upload a file it says it’s too big.How is she doing?
Have you added any new chickens to your flock recently?
Can you take a look inside her beak for any obstruction, stuck food, canker or sores?
How long have you had her?
If you have photos or a video of her breathing that would be good (upload videos to youtube and provide a link).
Chickens can have respiratory infections - diseases like Infectious Bronchitis, Mycoplasma, Infectious Coryza and ILT are some of the more common ones.

Some environmental causes are mold and poor ventilation in coops.
Thank you so much for the link. I think it’s ascites. Gurgling goes away when we don’t hold her.How is she doing?

For video you have to upload to youtube or similar platform and provide a link. The BYC upload does not work at all.Thank you so much for the link. I think it’s ascites. Gurgling goes away when we don’t hold her.
