Funny chicken sound

[feddy21]

My chicken started making this sound today. Sound like she losing her voice. Need some advice on what's wrong with her. Massaged her throat didn't feel anything obviously obstructing.⁹

You need to get someone to help you hold her and you look into her throat and inspect it with a flashlight. Wrap her in a towel to confine wings and feet to make this easier.

It sounds like she might have stridor, a condition caused by an obstructed airway. Most often this clears up on its own as a chicken coughs, usually in 24 hours. But you want to be sure this isn't an infection of some sort that should be treated. Look for scum or lesions or crusty buildup in the throat.
