Sudden wheezing

[summerhatch]

Hey all-so I was on my front porch and heard this weird sound. Turns out it was coming out of one of my hens. She’s walking around and eating as usual, just making some odd wheezing sound.
She is really hard to catch so not sure I can get her away from the rest of the flock.
I do not have a vet who will treat chickens…any suggestions?
Thanks!

If she's acting normal, it's likely just stridor -debris in the airway- it will leave by itself.

For real??? Oh my gosh I really really hope so cause I am not ready to deal with sick chickens…
THANK YOU!

Does she sound like the hen in post one of this video?

19 wk old Silkie and I just observed this noise. I think she was fine this morning and is walking around.

UPDATE: all is well this morning! Thanks again for the help. I’ve had chickens for years and never heard of this. You saves me and the hen from, a lot of needless stress…
