HELP my hen is making a noise when she breathes and sneezes a LOT I was thinking pneumonia, or the chicken flu, her poop is solid I don't know what is wrong with her. I will post a video in the morning
 
Hi starrmar006.Shout out from IL and I have family in Western WA so you are close to my heart. I also have 2 4-year old hens and one turkey with almost bronchitis\pneumonia-like symptoms. Gurgling sound when breathing, swollen sinuses, and mine had diarrhea. I took my chicks in to my vet, and they tested negative for worms and coccidiosis, as well as coriza. Put them on an antibiotic for 10 days, but no change. It has been 6 weeks, and they still are coughing and making wheezing noises, but are eating and drinking. How old is your girl?? Still laying eggs? How long have the symptoms been going on? Are other birds affected? What breed?

My hen is a black copper Maran she is 3 years old and was melting so she wasn't laying eggs the symptoms were just yesterday she stopped now and is breathing normally and no other birds are affected
 
I have a two year old Serama hen who does the gurgling when she's excited. She did it months ago and I gave her VetRx and Tylan 50 for 5 days. No change. She never acted sick, was active and eating. No diarrhea. Finally I tried Tetracycline for 15 days and she stop gurgling at last! But just a month or so later, and now it is back. I don't think it's a good idea to keep using antibiotics, and she acts fine. For now, I'm watching her closely.

The thing is it's not a gurgling sound I'm still trying to find out how to add a video without a link
