Something caught in throat or respiratory illness?

[Elaine06]

Please weigh in! I just noticed her acting like this today. She is not honking, just making a small sound if you get really close. Its hard to describe. She's locked up for the night though. Will see how she is in the morning.

I put a link to a video showing her, I don't know how to upload a video on this site

My chickens do that when something is stuck in their throat.

Try something like watermelon. does she shake her head too? I have a couple of Runners who gulp their treat so fast they will choke for a minute shake their heads kind of move them up and down then they are okay.

She was shaking her head a bit last night, yes. Today she seems to be straining less and is a bit louder but still quiet. I'll go pick up a watermelon.

Watermelon is soft but should help get anything stuck down I don't think anything real solid would help and might make it worse.
