Hello All,
I found my Rhode Island Red gasping for air, making loud noises and laying on the ground, a few min after I picked her up, she seemed to be fine. I immediately separated her from the flock in fear of AIB. Its been two days (still quarantined) and she will not squawk or call out. When she tries its a low raspy hum almost like it hurts to call out or cant. Alice, as we call her has a full appetite, normal behavior, drinking is normal and so is her stool. She has laid a full egg once, the night of the outburst and yesterday she laid just the shell of an egg and nothing again today.

Can anyone help me identify what is wrong with her? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Right now I am giving her VetRx, ACV and garlic in her water as well as an application of VetRx on her nostrils. Cinnamon (for circulation) in just a little oatmeal with pomegranate extract (anti-influenza).

Thank you so much for your time and effort.
 
Sounds almost like pre-broody behaviors. If she's eating and drinking, and moving about more than likely she's fine.
