I've got a chicken shaking her head and quickly "clucking" and if I pick her up and set her down she almost exhales similar to a goose honk.(she only honks after I set her down)... having trouble knowing if it's gapeworm or respiratory.... Looked down her throat, can't see anything stuck. I just gave her some mealworms, she's not making the noises while she's grazing them... She is pooping normally. Any advise in the right direction would be appreciated.
 
How old is she?

Can you get a video of the noise she makes? Upload video to youtube and provide a link.

Check to make sure her crop is emptying overnight. Feel her abdomen below the vent between her legs for bloat or fluid.
