family thinks it’s just old age but prior to this i noticed a problem in my chickens.they all had runny eyes and began gurgling. she’s currently laying at the entrance to the coop, limp, and gurgling. she’s definately very old
For video, upload to YouTube and provide a link.i already checked her eyes as well as the eyes of the other chickens and the bubbles they had before seem to have gone away.
How old is she?
What's her crop like?
You mention she's had bubbles in the eyes - does she have any mucous from the nostrils, coughing or sneezing?
Have you added new birds recently?
Feel her abdomen for bloat or fluid, since she's not been laying eggs, she may have a reproductive problem that is cause her to decline. Cancer, Salpingitis, EYP, etc. can be common in laying hens.
Sometimes gurgling can be due to the crop not emptying, do re-check the crop the make sure it's emptying overnight.
Work on hydration if possible, see if she will eat after she drinks.
