Does anyone know what is wrong with my little hen? I attached 2 short videos.

I just finished watching your video and I think she might have a respiratory infection, but I've also never seen a bird with gapeworm, so it's just a guess... You might want to get some Tylan while you're at the store, you can always return it if the wormer fixes her. Tylan is also in the cattle section.

That chicken is coughing/sneezing in the video. I would bet that it is IB (infectious bronchitis). IB is a virus that will run through the whole flock and lasts about a month. Young chicks are affected pretty bad, but older hens and roosters may just cough/sneeze . I saw this same thing last year. Note any facial/eye swelling, eye bubbling, or nasal drainage. If they just get nasal drainage and coughing, it is probably IB. You might try to look at this site: http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/ps044

I don't mean to take away from the O.P's hen, but my bird is showing the same signs as their's. I don't think it is IB since there is no drainage, or discharge.

Hopefully your chickens don't have IB. But they are looking for answers, and I was sharing my opinion. There is no reason to treat IB since it is a virus, unless it is severe, to treat secondary infections such as pneumonia.
