Re: funny noiseWhats the funny noise?, and is it respiratory?.....
I am old and wise, because I was young and stupid!.
Re: funny noisemmm its a bit hard to explain. It sounds like a squeak.
I picked her up and I did notice a bit of a swelling on her neck.
Re: funny noisePale comb could be a number of things, first thing I would do is check for the usual, has she been wormed, mites, lice etc, sometimes the comb fades is she is coming into moult!...

Re: funny noiseIt could be respiratory
It could be a blockage from feed or something she's ingested It could be gapeworm It could be a physical thing with her....I've read of a chicken that made a similar noise and when they culled her (because they thought she had something infectious) they did a PM and found she had extra cartiledge around her glottis which could have made the noise. I'd say keep a close eye on her...if it's respiratory the chances are she'll either soon show she's feeling poorly or the others will start picking on her ¸.•´¸.•*´¨) ¸.•*¨)✰
