Chicken is choking

[talkinboutchickens]

I have a chicken named Opal who is choking on something. She can still breathe and is acting normal but she is a very flighty chicken and hard to catch, so I will wait to see to her later when she is on the roost. If the problem is not resolved then, what should I do?? Thank you.

She is acting normal. She is not sick since she was totally fine earlier. But when she breathes its like a slight honking sound. Im gonna check on her right now to see if she coughed it up.

Update, her comb and wattles are still a healthy red so she can breathe fine hopefully. Her breathing doesn't sound bad anymore but her voice is strained and when she tries to vocalize its only small little sounds that come out.

I occasionally get a chicken that starts making that honking sound. It generally lasts a day or so than resolves on it's own.
