Hen sneezing and wheezing?

[GemW]

Posted this in the illness thread also. I'm new to chicken keeping and one of my hens is doing this. When I filled their water last night I mustve bumped one of the nipples and the entire bucket drained. Idk if that would have anything to do with this or not..

It kind of seems like stridor, where their air passage gets partially blocked. Is she sneezing often?

Yes, every few minutes

Hmmm... I'm not sure if stridor will have sneezing commonly.

I'm going to see if anyone else picks it up when they have time, and I'll tag someone if no one writes back by tonight.

Please write back here if she seems like her energy is tanking or if she seems like breathing is difficult (in addition to noisy!), but right now I think we are safe seeing how she is tomorrow, as stridor resolves itself.
