One of my chicks started sneezing at five days old and hasn't stopped. Sometimes it gets worse and she wheezes for a day but usually she is bright eyed and bushy tailed and she is growing like a weed. There is some clear liquid in the sneezes but no thick mucus and her eyes look great. I have...
Hi, my one year old Wyandotte laying hen is sick with a respiratory infection. I’m trying to work out how to treat her as another flock member was put to sleep a couple weeks ago, assuming the same pathogen, and that hen didn’t really respond to the two classes of antibiotics we can get OTC here...
I dewormed my flock of 21, 2 year old red sex link chickens, 3 weeks ago. 9 days ago 2 started showing respiratory symptoms: wheezing, coughing & sneezing. I immediately separated (quarantined) them in my makeshift hospital, away from the coop & cleaned & disinfected the coop. The other 19 never...
Please help. My four 2-3 week old chicks are all sneezing, and the littlest one is severely congested with runny poop. I can hear her rasping and wheezing when she breathes, and it's gotten worse over the past three days. I worry she may not be able to breathe if this progresses. This illness...
My EE pullet is in her second moult and I was just wondering if this was normal because of all the “chicken snow.” The wet sneezes and head shake spraying is on and off. It is clearly coming from her nose but only when she sneezes or shakes her head really fast. It’s not dripping out of her...
Hello, all,
My polish hen just started doing this weird thing— something between a sneeze and a hiccup? She seems to be having trouble breathing, but the behavior seems to be episodic. We just began mixing pellets into their food, so could she possibly have one stuck in her throat or something...
Need advice!
My chicken has been through the ringer this past month! First a comb injury, then bullying, then sour crop. She finally got all better and was put back with the others where she seems happy and no longer being bullied, about a week ago.
Now today, out of nowhere she was sneezing...
My 2 year old Americana hen, Wendigo (Wendi for short) has been making a repetitive noise for the past hour that resembles that of a rusty hinge. She has clear nasal discharge and she sneezes occasionally but, other than that, she's eating and drinking good and looks and acts perfectly healthy...
One of our little silkies started sneezing about a week ago. Didn’t think much of it cause it was infrequent. Now she’s sneezing constantly. Other than the sneezing she’s fine - eating, drinking, foraging, no ocular or nasal discharge. She also seems to be the only member of the flock displaying...
I noticed today that one of my young Easter Egger hens (less than one year) was sneezing while I was out there. Seemed like fairly frequently. I was out there for about 15 minutes and she sneezed maybe 15 times. She's also mouth-breathing, but does not seem distressed otherwise. She seems to...
Okay, this is a long one, but please bear with me; we are desperately trying to save our hen!
I have a red sex link pullet (she's about ten months old now) who we got at eight weeks old, and has had a pendulous crop since we got her. It's also important to note that she's always seemed a little...
Yesterday I saw a baby chick for sale, it was somewhat big for a baby chick (still it was definitely a baby chick, around a week old at most) and it was quite active so I thought that it'd be a healthy one. When i got the chick home, which was at night I put it to sleep and turned on a heater...
Hi everyone. I have an 11ish week old Australorp chick (or is it pullet now?) that has been sick for a couple weeks, and I’d appreciate some help in maybe figuring out what’s going on, and how I can best help her. These are my first chickens, so I’d appreciate the input of others more...
Hello everyone, I am a first time chicken mama of ten 13 week old chickens and am trying not to panic after noticing some of my chickens (especially the Welsummers) sneezing. My chickens do what I call "dainty sneezes" from time to time, particularly when pecking and foraging. These sneezes are...
Ok so I have kind of a weird question. My 6 month old Whiting True Blue Rooster has been coughing/sneezing for the last month or so and no one else in the flock has experienced any of these symptoms at all. Thought it might be gapes or a respiratory illness at first but since he’s the only one...
I’m finding several diseases with the same symptoms listed, can y’all help me narrow down what they have so I can treat appropriately?
Sneezing, head shaking, runny watery brown poops that are very smelly, puffy eyes and seemingly redder in the face in one of them.
I noticed sneezing yesterday...
I feel like I’m on high alert being a new chicken mama and after losing our ten week old girl about 2 weeks ago. After Mae died (vet and we weren’t sure what was wrong but I suspect Marek’s or Newcastle Disease. Truth is could have been any number of things). I started my other 4 girls on corid...
Hello! I am looking for some suggestions on what to do. I am new to taking care of chickens and I have been noticing my chickens sneezing numerous times and I have also noticed what appears to be diarrhea in the coop. The diarrhea is a dark brown (almost black) liquid and has a foul odor.
I...
