My Hen is making a weird breathing noise, video included.

[LindsayDarling]

I just lost a very important member of my flock yesterday! So im a little emotional still today. Unfortunately one of my hens started making this noise. She is still eating, drinking, acting normal. Sounds like a breathing issue? Here is a video. Please let me know if there is a problem I can treat, I may be over thinking it. Rather be safe than sorry!

She might have very very mild stridor, but hardly anything to worry about. It sounds like she may just be vocalizing some. Stridor can be a wheezing sound when they get something (a small piece of feed or a mucus plug) in the airway. Usually it goes away in a few hours, but I don’t think yours is very serious. Here is an example of stridor in post 1 and then read my post 4:

Thank you for the info! Gosh I just keep learning more n more about chickens I'll keep an eye on her. I do have wood shavings, I've had them for months. It's not very dusty and their coop is well ventilated. Hope it clears on its own. Thank you so much!!!
