Chicken with labored breathing - PLEASE HELP!

[ChickenHouse123]

I just noticed it when I went in the coop to collect the eggs and she was making this strange sound. She was just fine this morning. I am really worried about her. I am really bad at explaining things, so here are two videos of the sound. Anyone have any ideas.

Is this sound normal? Or is something wrong with her?

@Eggcessive , I know that you know about chicken problems, would you happen to know anything about what could be wrong with my hen. I don’t mean to be annoying, I am just worried about her.

Sounds like Stridor when they inhale something like food/water.
It could be an indication of mucous from respiratory illness.
See if it resolves overnight.
Keep us posted.

Ok I’ll check in the morning, thanks.

Hopefully, it is just stridor from a small piece of feed stuck in the airway. Other causes of stridor are respiratory infections that cause mucus plugs or swelling in the airway. I would think that sneezing would be heard in that case.

She is back to her normal self, thanks for all the responses. I was really concerned when I saw her like that last night.

Glad to hear she's better!
