    Sneezing/honking with open mouth Araucana

    She’s 27 weeks old, hasn’t started laying yet. Video attached because I have no idea what she is going through. She’s eating and drinking. She’s pooping. I’m in New Zealand where it’s summer at the moment and gapeworm is rare. Regardless I’ll worm her today anyway but I wondered if anyone has...

    Should I be using doxycycline?

    Hello everyone, My pullets have a respiratory disease. Started with a couple birds that I isolated but now pretty much the whole flock is coughing. A few have watery eyes and nasal discharge.

    Worms after a respiratory infection?

    My hens have had a respiratory infection (I think) for close to a week. I took the sickest one to a vet and was given antibiotics for the whole flock as well as meloxicam to help with symptoms. They’ve had low energy, coughing, congestion, and swollen eyes. I am on day 6 (out of 7) of...

    Congested Hens with nasal mucus

    I caught and isolated two hens from our flock this morning as both are coughing and one has mucus coming out of her nose. I had noticed my Wyandotte making snuffle noises but didn’t know if it was allergies or dust. Both still have reddish combs, although one is rather dry looking. Both are...

    Coughing or sneezing? Help!

    One of my EE’s started making a strange sound, it reminds me of a very soft bark. I’ve watched different videos and think it’s probably a sneeze over a cough. She is acting normal as far as I can tell but I noticed the sound around 4pm today and she wasn’t doing it earlier today around 1pm. I...

    Dead rooster and coughing (?) hens.

    Hi all, I'm in my first year of chicken keeping, we bought a house that already had a large coop and chickens that stayed with it. So we were driving pretty blind but walked into a functioning system. I believe the previous owner said that most of the hens were 2-3 yrs old, there are a couple...
