Chicken gasping

[MarketGardener]

She is gasping like it’s a hot day or she has somthing stuck in her throat like sawdust
Her crop feels empty like she hasn’t been eating but she will peck at grains ferments etc still and drink
There is no smell but she wheezes if I am holding her I can’t get a still listen as she freaks out at me she hates me

She is the roosters fave but I don’t know if she could be bruised ? She feels under weight compared to the rest of the flock who are all fat buggers loads of breast meat

How is she doing now?

She may be experiencing some stridor, this is when a bird has a piece of food or mucous stuck in the airway.

Can you get a video of her? Upload to youtube and provide a link.

Do check the crop to make sure it's emptying overnight.

Your video is private. Can you make it public? Can you separate the rooster in a dog crate with food and water to give the hen a break?

When was her last egg?

If she's not laid an egg, then I'd give her Calcium Citrate+D3 once daily for a week. Just pop 1 tablet into the beak and let her swallow.

Is she sneezing, have any mucous from the nostrils? Any lesions or canker inside the beak?

Crop emptying?

Is she harassed a lot by the rooster? Is she hiding from him a lot and not getting to food/water?
Just asking about the rooster, not going to fuss at you. Roosters can be a total pain and sometimes cause a lot of stress.

And, is there only 1 rooster?

as far as i can tell from egg count every day, i will double check tomorow, she goes in n comes out with the others but not really took attension to this,

id say she feels small/ under weight loss of meat on the breast, and small back end she doesnt feel fat like my old egg bound, nor displaying them signs ? tail down sulking etc


not a sneeze really ever besides normal she is how she is in the video if anything gasps a little harder,
as the heat cooled down today she stopped gasping until another chicken made her have a fight, they had a display and then broke it up, she sat at the water bowl drinking and pecking stones,

crop feels empty like not skin empty cant feel any golf ball of food, but i see her eat and drink.l eat stones and scratch all day? il go check her now,

she has the rooster stamp the other birds fly high while he does his madness morning, and get out he way when they can,
she gave her self to him day 1 and bowed down, she never leaves his side, he mounts her 3x asmuch as the others,
thankfully its too hiot for him and i put obstacles in his way,

tryed to seperate her or pen her in there she wants to be with him or the flock,
she wil calm down if he comes out but otherwise freaks,
he is the same lol his girls are his life hes a sweet heart

yes 1 rooster she is inseprable from him, she will always be with him before the girls, bald head too, and back, she doesnt get away from him she is under him devotedly and then just lets him on all the bloody time!

why i though she could be bruised ? and that amde it only confortable tyo eat little and often?

she felt more as i had 3 hens brooding too so was less girls, thats changing now though there coming out
