I have a 30 week light brahma pullet that sounds hoarse when she vocalized. I really don't know how to describe the way she sounds. She is also shaking her head alot as well.

We tried to catch her so we could quarantine her. She ran and hid under the porch.I would separate her immediately. Does she have anything in her mouth or throat? Any discharge around her nose or eyes? Any other symptoms?
Sounds like a good plan, it definitely sounds like she's illWe tried to catch her so we could quarantine her. She ran and hid under the porch.
She is showing signs of struggling to breath if she gets excited. I'm going to pull her out from the coop tonight when they go in. Other than shaking her head, I can't tell if she has other symptoms. None of the other birds seem to have any issues.
I have a recording of how she sounds but couldn't post it. Said it was the wrong file type.
It sounds similar. Fajitas is way louder. If she gets excited she gets even louder and looks like she is struggling to get enough air. When she is calm it al.ost goes away.It might be stridor, a sound made by a piece of feed or mucus stuck in the airway. Can you look at the video in post 1 of this thread, and tell us if it sounds like your hen?

She literally sounds like one of those rubber chicken toys.
I got a better look at her eyes and face, I don't see swelling or drainage. She was shaking her head as if to clear her throat.
I haven't seen any sneezing or any thing else. It started 2 or 3 days ago. It was quick sporadic times when she would 'squeek' I didn't think anything of it because it happened so quick and infrequent. Now it's way worse.
