Went out this morning to let the chickens out of their coop and this one has been breathing strange, she has a long growling inhale then extends her neck to an opened mouth gasping exhale. (I have a short video but can't upload?) She was also the only one still roosting when I let everyone else out, and was much easier to pick up than usual and she seems lethargic.
She's a 1 year old Black Marans, doesn't appear to have lost weight recently and is the only one of 11 doing this but this morning I did notice some sneezing from two others. I have her inside in quarantine at the moment and provided food and water but so far she hasn't touched it. The coop bedding is straw and they "free range" the backyard during the day, the coop was cleaned out a few days ago but is probably due for another cleaning. There's no apparent injuries and her crop is flat and smooth. I put some probiotic/electrolytes and VetRx in everyone's water.
Any ideas?! They are pets so I'm very concerned for her
