Couching Pullet

[SixChickensGal]

Well..so much for "my chickens are always healthy and happy". This morning..one is coughing, at least that's what is sounds like. A single cough, then a few seconds or a minute and another single sound that sounds like a cough. The other chickens are noticing, and one pecked at her a couple of times. I caught her up and put her into a small dog kennel bringing her into the house to observe for a few minutes. She has not coughed or made the noise since. Anyone have any info on this? Not sure if its something stuck in her throat, or an actual cough. Thanks in advance for any insight! Seh is an Ameraucana and 6 month old.

If she is no longer coughing, it sounds as if it may have been something stuck in her throat that she has since dislodged.
