So today I noticed that one of my hens was breathing through her mouth. With closer inspection it sounded like she was croaking. Almost like there’s something in her throat. She’s also sneezing so this has led me to believe that she has a clogged nose but I’m still very unsure. She eats and drinks like normal and her droppings are very healthy looking. That being said, does anyone know what might be happening to her?
 
She might be having stridor, a sound that is made when something is partially blocking the airway. That can be a small piece of feed, a mucus plug, swelling of the airway, or a foreign body. Sneezing with stridor, sounds like symptoms of a respiratory disease. Do you see any watery eyes, bubbles in an eye, or swelling of the eye or face? Here is a link about the common respiratory diseases such as MG (mycoplasma gallisepticum,) coryza, ILT, or infectious bronchitis:
