Hiccup/honk and neck stretch

How new are the 18 yonger birds.. how long have you had them?

First..DE and ACV will not prevent it cure worms.

Can you get a close up picture of her face?
Is her comb purplish or is that just the lighting in the video making it look that way?

What do you feed them? And can I ask why you only feed them once a day....how long do you give them to eat how much food?

She doesn't have a comb but her little wattles are a very healthy red. I feed the 9 pullets 3 cups of organic all feed crumb and they can eat it at whatever pace they want. That seems to be all they need because a little gets left behind usually so that's what I give them. They forage all day and have a compost pile as well.

That is strange...did they stop eventually? I'm going to keep my eye on her and think I'll keep up vetrx for 5 full days. She does it all day, not just while she is eating. Some of my chickens do something similar sometimes, like a squacking sneeze, when they eat because I give them crumb and I think it gets in their nose a bit and they sneeze it out. But she does it all day and does the gaping thing so just want to nip whatever it is in the bud.

no they never stopped

I was led to believe vetrx can help with a light respiratory issue if you catch it quick.
The littles are 4 weeks old and we have had them since day 1. I brooded them in a mini coop next to the big ones with a run and they have been free ranging for a week and naturally moved to the big coop. They all get along really well.

She doesn't have a comb but her little underside ones (what they're called is escaping me) are a very healthy red. I feed the 9 pullets 3 cups of organic all feed crumb and they can eat it at whatever pace they want.

That is not enough feed for 9 birds.
I agree with the above post about them trying to hurry up and eat as much as possible as fast as possible it it might be one of your problems.
On average you should be feeding about 3/4 cup worth per bird.
Which would be close to double what you are currently feeding.

She does have comb it's just not large. Get a picture of it please.

Wattles are the other things.

That's all I can give you for a close up because they're in bed. What you thought was a purple comb is just the markings on her beak. It's always been like that.

Honestly...she doesnt have a comb. I promise. In regards to the feed, their feeding time never seems rushed or frantic... They dont freak out or fight or gorge themselves. They just eat, often leave some behind and come back for it later. There is still a pile outside that was left, which happens sometimes, and they come back for it in the morning. They have a lot of land here and a compost pile that is teaming with bugs, worms and microbes. When I did leave a bin of food out all day to start it would go all soft and gross so long before they ate it that I started doing this instead and it works for us.
