Hen Making Strange Noises

Hi there sorry for the delay- I forgot how I shared the vid last time and spent the morning trying to upload it. here's the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JJhxiWgsHmcI_UULTAB5v5nwMN9CEumO/view?usp=share_link
I will say, couldn't catch her doing the neck thing- I've only ever seen her do it in the morning that I know of-this morning I don't believe she did. I'm wondering if she only does it when she eats, because during the time I was trying to tape her she didn't do it *once*. I'm relieved because when I checked the dewormer I have is exactly safeguard. Can it hurt to deworm all of them with this? I never actually gave my flock dewormer and am wondering if it's ok as a preventative measure. I don't think it's some chicken flu or whatever it was they called the breathing ailment for chickens- CRD? cuz it's been weeks and none of the other chickens came down with anything.

Yes it would be good to worm all of your chickens. Just check to see that her nostril is not blocked. It sounds like she just sneezes occasionally. The stridor sound can come and go if she gets a piece of feed stuck. Since you haven’t seen any bubbles in an eye or other symptoms, she doesn’t sound sick.

oh thank goodness- nope, no other symptoms. Great appetite, red comb, can't catch her if I tried. I mean the stridor sound kind of lightens up and gets louder depending on the day- one time she didn't have it at all but that lasted a day. :_( I will deworm them tomorrow, if anything it will be insurance. I'll giver her nose a lookie-lo but, how do I go about cleaning it? They're so tiny I doubt even a q-tip would fit up there.

Do check her crop each morning to make sure it's emptying overnight.

I don't see anything in the nostril on the video.

I just fed her so that'll mess with the results- I'll check her tomorrow see if it's empty.
