Veritysilkies Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Hi everyone, My 6 month old hen has started making a high pitched, slightly wheezy whistling sound today. It is not constant, but she is doing it once every 5-10 mins or so. She is eating and drinking and still active but she's never made this noise before. Does anyone have any ideas? Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Is she snotty or sneezing? Some hens can have things like hayfever. But if they are very snotty and sneezing, they can have respiratory problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Or could she perhaps have something stuck?! It’s very difficult to say without seeing her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritysilkies Posted August 13, 2020 Author Share Posted August 13, 2020 Hi, Apologies for the delay in replying, I didn't realise I had had any responses! So the whistling noise has now stopped of it's own accord thankfully- I did wonder about hay fever... she seems in good health otherwise. Unfortuantely she has now gone broody, although I am assuming that is unrelated!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Most likely unrelated. Glad to hear she’s ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
