What’s going on?

[hillbillydan]

I have a hen that’s making a respiratory noise when she’s inhaling. It almost sounds like she’s got a dog toy squeaker in her throat. I massaged her throat, but nothing seems out of the ordinary. I have a video if someone can walk me through how to post it. Help is greatly appreciated.

Just post to YouTube or a similar site, then post the link here. Good luck!

That sounds just like it. We’ll keep her isolated with her bestie to keep her comfort. Hopefully she’ll be fine by this time tomorrow. Thank you so much!!! She’s at my mom’s and she called me panicking while I was at work thinking she was dying. I checked on her and just thought she’s got something in her throat but couldn’t find anything unusual… Thanks again!!!

I have a hen that had stridor a couple of times after she gobbled feed. It was gone by the next morning.
