Chicken making weird sound

[Richard Pryor]

Not terribly hot today. Low 90's. She was fine this morning but when I got home this afternoon saw this EE making weird sounds. They are a little over 3 months old, so it's too early for them to be laying, correct? She doesn't want me anywhere near her, which is kind of weird. This isn't the friendliest of pullets but she was terrified of me when I tried to grab her just now.

Here she is walking, pooping and stretching her leg.

Sounds like she is telling a serious story to me..
Not sure if this is a "bad" thing or not. I'll be watching to see what others chime in to say.

Well, I managed to grab her and it sounds like a respiratory issue. It sounds a bit like asthma?

Coop is very well ventilated with 4 windows and open at the truss. But the Sweet PDZ is very dusty (even though I have the granular) because I can see the dust on the coop camera at night. They spend all day outside and only go in to sleep.

She has some stridor, which is a high pitched wheeze on inspiration and expiration, and can be a sign of something in the airway, such as mucus, swollen tissue, food, or a foreign body. Usually it can clear up in a couple of hours if they cough and clear the airway, but if it persists, she may have a respiratory infection. Make sure that she is drinking fluids and eating normally. If other symptoms occur, such as lethargy, gasping, nasal or eye drainage, or coughing, I would think about treating her with Tylan 50 injectable, but given orally. The stretching of the legs is fairly normal behavior in chickens.

How is this chicken today?
Did the sound go away?
