    Sneezing Silkie

    I have a 4 year old silkie hen with a chronic sneeze which has been going on for about a year and a half. No other symptoms and no other birds have this condition. Until 2 months ago, her nostrils were completely clogged so I decided to try to do something unclog. I delicately dug them out with...

    Coccidiosis or something else? [photos]

    Today, hen is much improved. good appetite. very alert (and noisey). more solid poops. I put her down in the yard this morning she was busy and scratching like she should. only now also eating dirt/mud. why is that? should I be concerned?
