Respiratory issue?

[Bella333]

I went out to the coop tuesday evening to close the chickens in. I found one of my chickens who is 5 months old making horrible sounds. I did not see anything in her throat. I gave her doxycycline that was left over from a previous chicken. Also gave her some water by syringe, and nutri drench. I kept her in the house and watched her closely. Yesterday morning she was doing fine. No more noises and drinking and eating fine. She is very upset with me that I still have her in the house. Does anyone have any idea what this could have been? I'm trying to decide if I should put our back outside with the others.Because she is very stressed being alone... Any suggestions or thoughts would be very helpful.

It could have been stridor, which is a partial obstruction of the airway, usually caused by a bit of feed or something getting stuck. It can sound awful sometimes. Usually it resolves on it's own once they get whatever it was moved, which is what it sounds like happened. When it persists and doesn't get better then it could be a respiratory illness causing swelling in the airway.
Here is one short video of a hen with stridor:

Seems logical to me.
