Chicken Wheezing, Respiratory Disease??

[jessicagoddard]

I came out to let my chickens out this morning, and one of my hens has a very nasty breathing sound. She’s eating and drinking, but sneezing and almost coughing, and it’s very loud. Any ideas??

Some additional information, she has been acting fine until this morning. I have 3 other hens in the coop with her. The coop is cleaned out weekly, and moved for fresh grass in the run. She isn’t even a year old yet, and I got her in September. I haven’t introduced any new chickens since.

It’s likely difficult to pin down the cause. If you haven’t changed your coop bedding etc then maybe this link may help - http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/ps044

Sounds like stridor when they inhale something like food/water or could be an indication of mucous from respiratory disease.
See if it resolves over the course of several hours.
