Wheezing Hen?

[Iva S.]

One of my hens started sort of wheezing today. As far as I know, it just started. It kinda sounds like a squeaky chair and every now and then she’ll sneeze too, but the sneezes are sort of wet sounding. I have a video of the wheezing (but not the sneezing), however I can’t upload it in this post. Should I be worried about this?

Is she showing any other signs/symptoms of a respiratory disease/infection (mucous/discharge from the nose/eyes, lethargy, ruffled feathers, disinterest in activity, possibly abnormal droppings)?

Possibly. How cold is it where you live? If she’s not feeling well, she may benefit from a heat source, but sounds like she’s mostly doing pretty well?

Definitely disinterest in activity. She just kinda crouches/lays down and is partially fluffed up. She also seems to have a little difficulty balancing, as she often puts her wing(s) out when I was moving her to be desperate and she didn’t want to go on the roost. Her poop is quite runny
