I have a girl that is gurgling when breathing.  I rarely get to pick her up and today is the 2nd of the Ex Batts (2nd Batch) 26 week old laying 3 week pullet eggs she has been out and about no outward signs of wrong.  Crop small.
Sound of her gurgleing.

Soft egg not a problem as the coop was closed today keeping new girls out so they eat and drink and not stay in coop all day.

She does sound a bit rattley Ruff. Could be a number of respiratory problems.  I'd consider getting some antibiotic if she doesn't improve in a couple of days.

I had the same thing with Biggins Ruff, it wasnt till Foxy picked him up that we reaslised :shock:  he was pecking about as usual and you couldnt hear anything. Anyway, couple of injections and he is back to normal. We had also notice that he lost a little weight so it was a b****y good job Foxy suddenly decided to pick him up :wink: Good luck :D
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most!!

Thanks Jelly.  What was wrong with Biggins?  Was it a trip to the vets?

Do they have apple cider vinegar in their water Roughlee?

One of mine has an odd gurgle I pop ACV in the water and she's ok again :?

Yes they have it all the time.  It is a strong gurgling sound almost on every breath. Thinking about it I had just chased her around.

Erm you know I..... well it was really bad honest..... I did not sleep very well as I was thinking about it and all.  And seriously it was every breath and loud.  I am not as paranoid as I was when I first got chickens.  Honest ask Foxy She called me Paranoid and Roughlee Handled. Well ok caught the little S@it and all is good. So sorry.   :oops:


At least it was a good ending.

So the long and short of it is you chased your chicken around and then worried when she got out of breath! I don't know how she puts up with you! :lol:  :roll:  :lol:
Be like a duck. Calm on the surface but always paddling like the dickens underneath.

She might, it would explain the heavy breathing.

It wouldn't explain the running away though! :wink:

And before you suggest it I don't think that chickens play hard to get!
