Chicken making strange noises/ laying odd eggs

[andreaschicks123]

I have a one year old salmon favrolles who started making weird noises today. It stops while she’s eating and foraging but it’s pretty consistent otherwise. Her crop feels a little squishy too but no bed breath or other signs of sour crop. She did lay an egg today already. I have a video of the sounds here:

It’s like a grumbling and groaning noise that’s almost like a long “honk”with some higher pitched “yips” in between. It’s hard to explain. It’s fairly loud when she gets going. She seems a little agitated but then when she starts foraging it calms down a little. Also maybe unrelated but the same hen has been laying some eggs with discolouration and not totally symmetrical. She’s always been a bit odd (zoning out sometimes and doing her own thing occasionally) but this is new. If you know how to post a video please let me know and I can share it.

You can post it on youtube or vimeo and copy/paste a link here for it.

My salmon faverolle is a character, too, but it sounds like it would be good to makes sure the behavior is not pathological.

Sounds like she has Stridor which is when they get some food or mucous in the airway.
Usually this resolves on it's own within 24 hours.

Do check to make sure her crop is emptying overnight. If it's not, then begin treatment according to this article https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...w-to-know-which-one-youre-dealing-with.73607/
