Are these the only two options?Two things this might be. The first is not treatable, and the second is.
Her problem might be from avian leucosis causing tumors on her organs, shutting her body down, causing weight loss, crop malfunction, breathing issues, and even nerve and brain damage.
But it may be a simple crop disorder causing over fullness and this might be backing up occasionally into her larynx, causing the breathing noises.
You can't treat the first one, but a crop issue is easily treated. https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...w-to-know-which-one-youre-dealing-with.73607/
Read through my article and decide which crop issue you are dealing with. If the crop is very large and hard, she may have an impacted crop, so you would start my giving her oil and massage. Hopefully, she will improve with crop treatment, and the leucosis scare is unwarranted.
