It sounds like that she may be dealing with a respiratory infection such as Mycoplasma Gallisepticum (MG), or also known as Chronic Respiratory Disease (CRD). This is the most common cause of respiratory infections worldwide. Since this infection is caused by the Mycobacterium bacteria, it can be easily treated with antibiotics. There is a lot of antibiotics available for chickens that you can buy at your local farm store or online. Sadly though, she’ll be a forever carrier of this infection, meaning that she can spread it to any birds that have never been exposed from her feces, respiratory secretions or other bodily fluids. While this infection isn’t curable, it’s easily treated and managed.
