I have 2 hens one is 6 and the other is 1 year old. the younger one i just got like 3 weeks ago and she has recently started sneezing like once every minute or 2 minutes the older hen is completely fine she hasn't sneezed at all. She stared the sneezing before I cleaned our coop out. Then I did a thorough job cleaning there was Alot of dust. I put some food grade diatomaceous earth on the floor then Hay and sprayed the nests and roosts with a white vinegar/water solution. Then put hay down there as well I thought that would help her but she is still sneezing and the other older hen is fine. The sneezing hen is eating and drinking I believe. Also when I gave the younger hen tomatoes she would eat some then it sounded kinda weezey/gurgley like she was trying t eat and breath thru her mouth but sounded normal when I gave her other foods idk. I'm scared for her idk what i should do! Please help! I can use any information I can get! Thanks!
 
Okie I'll try to tomorrow its night right now. I'll also see if I can capture her sneezing in the same video her droppings seem to be normal I don't think there's anythink blocking cause she seems to be swallowing them and she caught a grasshopper right after the tomatoe incident and she got it down just fine no gasping or neck stretching what so ever.
 
So i tried feeding her tomatoes again and she didnt do the neck stretching or anything like that, which is good here is the video of her eating.

I carried her around and set her on the grass and she didn't sneeze at all but as soon as i put her down in her pen and she started scratching around she started sneezing! Im really confused..

Its white and grey and seems to be holding to gether pretty good and a little moist she has acess to cracked corn all the time and we feed her scraps from our garden and such everu so often
 
Is it possible that she's getting the juice from the tomatoes in her nares? Also, make sure the coop or barn bedding is dry. If there is any moisture under that straw it could be growing mold and that causes respiratory problems. Your hen is a beauty! She appears to be quite a character! Good luck!
