Panting chicken

[Exning]

Her gaping motions look like she is adjusting her crop.  Can you check her crop in the early morning to make sure it is emptying normally?  Impacted crop and sour crop are different issues that can happen if  the crop is not  working.  Here is some info:

It should be completely flat.

You said the vet test the fecal test came out fine for all three. I am assuming worms. There are more than three types of worms. Heres a link.

Its possible she might have Gapeworm, or something is stuck in her throat, you could put a feeding tube down her throat to see if it dislodges anything. Take a look in her mouth to see if something is inside like cankers. Gapeworm can be treated with safeguard. I will look it up and post the info.

Ok, maybe I should be more clear because I thought i said her throat was fine. The problem i am wondering about is the panting. There are no obstructions or signs of throat problems.

Looking at the video, that is not panting. It looks like she has something down her throat or its her crop.

I think she just had something stuck, she doesnt always do that. I meant to capture just her open mouth but then she started doing that as well

We took the bird to an avian specialist. They did a full blood panel with a state lab and it came back clean. That leaves reproductive issues, fungal infection, foreign body or tumor/deformity. Tomorrow I will try a week of daily Oxine fog treatments, if that doesn't work I don't know what else to do. We should have done an X-ray but the specialist didn't seem to think it was necessary.

The bird is now making strange noises when picked up. I am treating all for a bumble foot outbreak and she is healing much slower than the others. The others have started attacking her too.
