Hiccup? Cough? Isolate?

We have a few backyard hens and one of our older ones has a hiccup. There is no discharge . We isolated her for several days but no results. Is it respiratory? It sounds like a classic chicken sound but in hiccup form. Can’t attach video

Is it very often and is its chest moving at the same time as the hiccups? I saw a video of what you may be described on this site and someone had replied it could have trouble breathing.

it’s behaving quite normal, just these chirps every few seconds. I tried massaging the crop and nothing was there. It isn’t lethargic at all. I see no discharge in the eyes or around it’s beak

It’s hard to say re chest - but I’d say the neck for sure. I’ll check again later
