Hen gasping for air

[M0ndexM0mma]

I have no idea whats going on here. I wiped it with a warm damp paper towel, got some blood off on it. I don't know where the blood is coming from. I can't find any holes or anything.

If you have other chickens could have gotten in fight. Same thing happened to my two battling hens. Refer to my other post.

Hi all,
my little brother's favorite Rhode Island Red started gasping yesterday apparently. She looks quite distressed and I'm not sure what to do for her. I couldn't see or feel anything caught in her throat or crop.
She's 1 and a half years old, and has been a good layer, she's still been laying an egg daily even through her molt. Up until the day before yesterday. Never gotten any wonky eggs from her either.
They're on nutrena layer pellets, but I do free range them and they pick through the dead garden consistently. Though I don't think they'd be finding anything bad in there really.
Any idea what might be wrong or what I should try to do? I have a number of medications and stuff on hand but I didn't think any of it would help. I gave her half of a tum yesterday because I thought she might be trying to pass an egg. Nothing today though.
She did have a weird poop yesterday, it was runny but looked eggy to me almost which is why I tried the tum.
I can post a video if necessary. Thanks!

I had a black Australorp hen that gasped for air and finally died I think this is what it was. She first started sneezing, and then went to gasping for air and was fine for awhile. you should remove her from others asap. Google it so see things you cna get to put in their water. Good Luck.

VET RX - is inexpensive, and seems to do the trick for many respetory issues...

Sounds to me she is what is called egg bound. She has an egg formation stuck inside of her.
