One of my hens has a loud gurgle whenever she drinks water. It happens every time she drinks. Is something wrong?
She is a big hen and is not too active because of her weight. She acts overall healthy.
Heres a video link to her drinking water

Hi, I had two chickens until yesterday. Now I have one and I'm beyond desperate to resolve this. My birds have been sick for two years now with respiratory issues. I have had the vet out on multiple occasions. I had suggested Gapeworm at one point and he said it wasn't (without testing, just...
Hi, I have a 2.5 year old Rhode Island Red hen with some symptoms that have me a bit stumped. She has a history of ascites and was last drained mid-August and had been doing very well since. The last couple days she has been acting lethargic and her abdomen seemed to be filling with liquid...
I remember hearing that gurgling in a chicken’s breathing means that something is wrong with the lungs, but I can’t be sure whether or not it is something serious. It doesn’t sound like gurgling coming from her breathing, and instead a noise similar to the gut digesting food. She is the only one...
Hello Fellow Chicken Lovers. A mobile livestock vet just left my home after inspecting my flock of 24 chickens. I have one white leghorn that has a serious case of gurgling and other weird sounds. The rest are sneezing and making unusual sounds also. This has been going on for a little less than...
Hi. I think my year and a half old silkie hen has mycoplasma, but no very can see her for 48 hours.
Any advice for how to help her from home until I can get her antibiotics?
She was broody for the last few days, then, yesterday (Friday) morning, when I picked her up so that she would get food...
Ok, so I got 3 new hens last week. Gold laced Orpington, Black sex link, and a Cukoo maran. Today I got up and the Gold laced Orpington is making a gurgling sound. What do I do? Will she die? Will it spread to the rest of my flock? I didn't hear anyone else making the sound.
Today I picked up 6 pullets from a poultry supply store. It wasn’t ideal but I couldn’t find any local breeders this time of year. Upon inspecting them at home, I found poultry lice all over them and at least one of them was sneezing every minute or two.
I’ve heard all chickens have a few lice...
Hello, I'm a first time chick mom, 3 weeks ago I got 9 1-week old chicks (7 of them from one pair of parents and 2 of them from another, from the same breeder, no MG free certifications here in a small city in mexico) they had been all raised together for at least 4 weeks, and were all...
Not sure what is up with my hen :/ I let my chickens out to free range this morning and I saw her jump out of a nesting box after everyone was gone and walk outside. When I came back after putting the chicks in their outdoor run, I noticed her laying down and making gurgling noises. When I...
Hello all,
I have an approximately 5 year old Brahma hen displaying respiratory symptoms but also with crop issues.
I noticed she has been a bit lazy the past few days but couldn't find any other issues so wrote it off. Yesterday, however, I noticed her breathing was laboured and with every...
Two days ago I noticed Barbecue, my 1.5 yr old Barred Rock, was sneezing and not coughing but wheezing/gurgling a bit. I've listened to her breathe by putting my ear to her back and her lungs sound clear. She has no swelling to the eyes, or head. She has no nasal discharge. Her comb and...
Hello all. We bought a young mixed breed bantam hen off a lady keeping her in her backyard, who could no longer keep her. When we met little Chickpea I was so overwhelmed with her cuteness that i totally forgot to do any of my normal checks on her. The lady also had a dog, and other birds, so it...
Sometimes I hear his stomach when he's not eating or drinking water. But I often hear gurgles when he drinks water. He's healthy and he's done this before. I probably first noticed it six or seven weeks ago. It was a bit stronger today.
Any suggestions as to why his stomach gurgles? Could he...
hi everyone!
I started with chickens this spring. They are now 20 weeks old.
One of my GLW pullets started making a strange gurgling congested sound, accompanied by a head shake, almost like a sneeze or cough (I've never seen a chicken do either, so not sure!). It's been about 10 days now. It...
