A day or so ago, when I went to move my Silkie trio from their inside cage out to the outside pen, one of the hens regurgitated all over the place when I picked her up. I also noticed that she is making a wheezing, gurgling noise when she breathes.

She has been looking ok, otherwise, I didn't notice her looking sick, before this, but this concerns me.
She did it again today when I moved them, too.

Can anyone tell me what it could be? I'd like to start treating her before she gets worse and/or spreads it to my other birds.

I've had this with my girls it's a respitory infection I think and u can treat it with a general chicken antibiotic from the vet or some feed stores sell them
 
Thanks so much for your answer! I just went out and mixed up some antibiotic water for them.

I went out this morning and lo and behold! No wheezing and no puking! LOL

Thanks so much!!

I still have all three of them on the antibiotic water to make sure it's cleared up and no one else gets it.
