My girls were free ranging all day today. After they put themselves in the coop around 4:30pm, I went out to close the coop door and to see them settled in for the night. I heard a strange noise exactly like this
coming from my Golden Comet and brought her inside for a better look! She not attempting to eat or drink and when I feel her throat where the wheezing noise seems to be coming from I feel a smallish lump. Im not sure if this the normal part of a chickens anatomy ( perhaps her voicebox?) I tried to look down her throat which was impossible! I gave her a bit of olive oil which she did ingest and made a funny cough and shook her head. I'm not sure if it is gapeworm or a viral infection. She is resting in the dog kennel, but still wheezing. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!!
P.S. None of my other chickens have had been acting like this.
