Sick chicken

no not really. All the CO2 she's exhaling will be filling the tote from the bottom up, and pushing up and out oxygen as it does so. You'd be better off putting the tote on its side and putting something breathable over the open side so she can't get out but can get

Ok.

thanks for the help. The tote is on its side now. I’ve tried giving her a small amount of olive oil and water then messaging her crop. After this I have no idea. I’ll have to wait and see how she is in the morning then make a call on what to do I guess.
 
The black strip could be the choanal slit which is normal anatomy. Here is a picture of that:

Dog crates make good hospital crates. Those can be placed in the coop where they can remain with the flock to help prevent problems with reintegration.

I was wondering how they would react to her going back to the coop if she happens to get better. How long does it take for the rest of the flock to disown her? She’s only been away from the coop for one day so far.
 
When I remove broodies from the flock to break them, they do alright after about 5 days. After that, they may get pecked a little more. If they gone for weeks, they may be forgotten, and you would have to gradually reintegrate. But every flock is variable.

I just put her back outside this morning. She’s eating, drinking and she’s laying eggs. She’s still wheezing so I don’t know what else to do. Maybe it’s something that has to pass through her throat. She’s not acting sick and hopefully it doesn’t spread to the rest. No clue!
