Chicken making noise when breathing

Oh, bless her heart. It could be several things, but sounds like some sort of blockage to me. I hope you can figure it out. They keep us on our toes, I have to say.

They do, thank you

Update: she stopped making the noise overnight and within a few days seemed back to her normal self, but today she looks ill and has starting making the noise again. Really not sure what it is?

I once had a hen with a birch tree seed stuck in her nose, causing her to breathe weirdly and sneeze a lot. With the help of my dad we managed to remove the seed from the squirmy hen's nose and she was fine after that.

I also once had a quail who kept making gagging motions and her crop didn't go down as it should... I gave her some oil and whatever was lodged in her throat and blocking her crop, likely a long piece of hay, passed through and she went back to normal.

What type of oil should you use?
