snoopy13 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 My chicken is making a croaking noise. I'm new to chicken keeping so I don't know whether this is normal or not. I wanted to ask first before taking her to the vet. She eats and drinks and poops normally, but makes this noise occasionally. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKSAeH3WuRY&feature=youtu.be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Is she breathing with open beak constantly? Because she shouldn’t, unless it’s really hot out with temperatures well above 30 degrees celsius. It could point to some respiratory problems. Not sure what the sound is she makes.

Patricia W Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Put your ear to her back. If you hear her wheezing, whip her straight to the vet as it’s likely respiratory disease. This needs antibiotics from a vet. Easily treated but fatal very quickly if ignored. Not for home remedies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that too although she doesn't look like she is particularly struggling. I always take mine to the vet when I am unsure, as I would rather spend the money to know she is fine than wait and see, and by then they might be quite poorly. My gut instinct is usually correct and it is never money wasted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlottenichol Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Hi my chicken is making a very wierd cawwing sound whenever it breathes and it has a runny nose and a stretched out neck. It been making this noise all day and into the night. It’s comb is now turning dark purple and it feels cold. Whenever it eats it keeps sneezing too. It’s meant for meat and is like 12 pounds but I kept it as a pet. Idk the breed I have a video of what it sounds and looks like but I don’t know if I can upload videos in here or not. Idk if this is even the right place to ask for help. It’s my favourite chicken and it always gives me hugs I can’t let darling die:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 @Charlottenichol sadly you can’t upload videos directly, so you would need to upload it to YouTube or something similar. But what you describe doesn’t sound good. I really would visit a vet as soon as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
