Hi everyone!
This is my first year with chickens so I’m a little concerned.
I have a 4 month old olive egger pullet that has been sneezing for a week now. She sneezes pretty often. Her sneezing is not accompanied by any other symptoms aside from occasionally opening her mouth to breathe for a few moments and then she’s back to normal. She’s eating very well (she loves fruit as a snack!), drinking well (I put electrolytes in their water on hot days), very active and outside in the chicken run with my other 12 chickens daily. None of my other chickens are sneezing like her that I’ve heard.
For bedding in the coop I use pine shavings. I have used pine since they were a few days old.
My vet at work took a look at her and he said she looks pretty healthy. He said that her lungs sounded clear and to monitor her for now. I guess I’m just wondering when I should start to be worried? And when/if I should give her antibiotics?
