sounds like its trying to crow. Not sure though

Check to see if she has anything stuck in her throat. Sometimes they will sneeze/cough like that when they eat too fast and don't have enough "slobber" to wash it down.

Thanks for the fast replies! I will definitely keep an eye on her throughout the week and let you guys know the progress. Just seems weird that shes been doing this for about a week now, almost constantly.

I timed her and the longest interval was 30min in between sneeze/cough... Thanks again, Jan

We have one hen (8 months old) that makes a somewhat similar noise - almost a rooster crowing sound. Fairly loud.

She does it in the morning, at night, and when she lays an egg.

Is her behaviour normal otherwise?

 

[JansGirls]

she does that all day long. mainly her actions are normal, she does chicken things. but sometimes when she does it she gets unsteady on her feet and sits. i am a beginner and dont know if she is sick or his is something she just does.

You stated that her poo looked foamy. Check this link out: http://www.chat.allotment.org.uk/index.php?topic=17568.0
It will help determine if your foamy is good or bad. Maybe worms?

Does she scratch in the dirt? Eat any insects/bugs/worms? What is her bedding material? Is she laying eggs?

Have you tried looking down her throat and seeing if there is anything there?

hare wizard, yes she scratches at the dirt and eats insects and bugs. i have never seen her eat a worm but im not always watching. I did try looking down her throat saw nothing, (i was looking for gapeworm) her bedding is straw and none of my girls are laying eggs. they are five months old. do u think she might be egg bound?
