Can you get a video or photos of her? For video, upload to youtube and provide a link.

Something stuck in her crop? Have you investigated that - what does her crop feel like? Is it emptying completely overnight?

Are her nostrils clear - they aren't clogged up are they?

I don’t have a video of her beside she is sleeping at the moment but she sound like this

Her crop felt fine but I gave her some bread mix with some olive oil and her nostrils seems fine

I gave her some olive oil and bread and massaged her crop. it felt soft but not full. from what I've seen, her nostrils are clear but she's not breathing through her nose.

In the video, the hen sounds like she has stridor which is when they may have food stuck in the airway. Sometimes you hear this sound from mucous or swelling in the airway too.

Hopefully it will resolve on it's own over the course of several hours. Keep us posted.
