One of my hens started making a strange wheezing sound. Best way I can describe it is a creaky door hinge or a rusty swing. The noise is in time with her breathing, so I wonder about something upper respiratory. I have tried to attatch a video, but I keep getting an error message. She is otherwise acting normal; no panting or visibly labored breathing and no lethargy. She has been scratching and pecking around in my yard all day. My chickens ate free range by day, but go up to roost in a large coop at night. None of the other chickens are wheezing. I have never heard this sound from a chicken, so I am concerned.
