HELP! CHICKEN MAKING BAD SOUNDS!!!!!!!!! WHAT DO I DO

[Grace8269]

After getting attacked by an older chicken my hen, Trisha, I’d making weird sounds. She is also acting strange. This has never happened plz help me. I don’t know if she is traumatized or what to do. She is a 4 month old buff Orpington who keeps sneezing.

I'm not hearing anything too concerning. She most like has some food in her wind pipe after being pushed around, It will go away,
How was she attacked?

An older hen just kept biting her. I’m not sure if she’s trying to lay her first egg though. She’s still making these noises

Is there any way I can help her throat. I saw online to gently massage her neck and I did that but nothing happened.

She is also itching herself aggressively

I think she's trying to lay an egg, put her the nest box so she can lay in peace. If it's her first egg, it could take awhile and she will make strange noises. Pecking is not attacking, it's the pecking order, the older hen is making it clear she's the boss

I gave you that advice thinking she was actually attcked, she wasn't. She's probably just trying to lay an egg. :]

Have you checked your coop for lice or mites? where is she scratching her self? Do you see any clumps on the base of her feathers like on the neck or by the tail.

All of my hens are sprayed with a solution the kills mites and lice also, I spray their coop down with it too.

I put her in her coop about 20 minutes ago because I thought she wanted to lay and she head up to her box so I think she is just laying. Again, thank u!
