Chicken sounds strange and had trouble getting out of the coop this morning

[basic_chicken_dad]

1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.)

• The bird in questions is an Easter Egger (basically a mutt), not quite a year old, weight seems to be normal

2) What is the behavior, exactly.

• She was sneezing a bit, making a strange noise almost constantly, and had a little trouble getting out of the coop this morning. She seemed to stumble a bit and seemed a little uncoordinated compared to the rest of the hens.

3) How long has the bird been exhibiting symptoms?

• These symptoms started this morning

4) Are other birds exhibiting the same symptoms?

• None of the other birds have shown similar symptoms as of yet

5) Is there any bleeding, injury, broken bones or other sign of trauma.

• No

6) What happened, if anything that you know of, that may have caused the situation.

• I'm really not sure

7) What has the bird been eating and drinking, if at all.

• Once she got out of the coop, she ate a little bit of food. My wife said she saw the hen drinking some water as well.

8) How does the poop look? Normal? Bloody? Runny? etc.

• Not certain, but over the past few days, we've noticed the flock's poop seems to have gone more or less back to normal. We lost a couple of younger pullets and there had been diarrhea and some bloody stool, but after treating, that seems to have stopped.

9) What has been the treatment you have administered so far?

• One week of Amoxicillin, one dose of dewormer, and Corid in the water

10 ) What is your intent as far as treatment? For example, do you want to treat completely yourself, or do you need help in stabilizing the bird til you can get to a vet?

• We intend to treat on our own

11) If you have a picture of the wound or condition, please post it. It may help.

• My wife took a video of the sound the hen is making and I've uploaded it to Youtube.
  

12) Describe the housing/bedding in use

• Large coop with pine flake for bedding

Check to make sure her crop is emptying overnight.
Look inside her beak for canker or yellow/white pasty material.

You introduced new birds recently? Did they have any respiratory symptoms?

Could be an indication of respiratory disease. If the crop is not the issue, then seeking vet care may be best.
An antibiotic that treats disease like Mycoplasma may be worth using if symptoms do not subside. Tylosin would be a good choice. Amoxicillin is generally not used to treat respiratory disease.
