It’s been 5 days now and she’s today become inactive…and I’ve begun to hear a low Strider (slight whistle with her inhales). there’s no vet nearby so I’m at a loss… is strider a symptom of gapeworm? If it’s bacterial how do you administer antibiotics to a chicken who isn’t eating/drinking ? I’ll go get a video and post it momentarily
 
Welcome To BYC

Can you post the video and give more information?
Upload video to YouTube and provide a link.

Do you notice bubbles in the eyes, mucous, coughing, sneezing, etc.?

You mention this has been going on for a while, have you added new birds?

You would deworm and administer an antibiotic at the same time if you are unable to nail down what is causing her distress.
