one of my girls started sneezing this eve. No other symptoms. Not sure what to do. Help? All these posts have confused me. In a nut shell what do I do?
We have had two cases of egg bound chickens in the two years of having them, but this feels different. It could be another matter, but I want to be sure.
This morning, my little brother brought to attention the fact that one of our girls was acting off. She was puffed up like she was egg bound...
My hen laid her first eg about 4 hours ago and now she is making a loud wheezing sound and sneezes occasionally. Is this some sort of fungal or bacterial infection, or is this shock from laying her first egg? If it is an infection, what treatments can I use for her? I am in a cold and moist area.
my hen has been sneezing all day and occasionally scratching at her head. shes acting fine other than that, eating well, running around but last night she had been waking up scratching her head but that was it and its normal for her to wake up and move around. nothing too concerning but i was...

hello, I have read many posts about sick hens but haven’t seen this question....
I have a 5 month old that has a “cold”. She sneezes and has a slight runny nose. By the time I noticed she was sick I figured everyone has been exposed so I didn’t separate her. I have been monitoring her and she...
I have a mixed breed flock. There have been no new birds introduced lately...for probably 3 months. At the beginning of this month I moved. There was a huge chicken coop I purchased from a friend. It had been empty for months (5 or 6 months?) and the chickens they had were healthy. There are...
I have a single bird of 4 backyard chickens that has come down with some weird sores. I’ve raised them from chicks and they are 2. I’ve dealt with a few black spots on combs before but this seems worse. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
Less than a week ago my family purchased two ~4 week Jersey Giant chicks, and we've had issues with one of them sniffling to the point we're concerned. You can hear mucus when she breathes and sounds somewhat raspy. She's also done a bit of sneezing, and her eyes are always a little closed and...
My 4 and a half month old peachick has been sneezing excessively for the past five or six days, and I don't know why? His cage is cleaned frequently and when he isn't sleeping in there for the night he roams the backyard(or is ruling the inside of the house, haha). Please help!!
Thanks!
Hi, All.
This morning, Stella, a 16-month old silver appleyard duck, was making a sound somewhat like sneezing. She has been in good health with no other issues. It rained heavily last night, but nothing else was out of the ordinary. This evening, she was still doing it periodically, but she...
I am not to concerned but I have been noticing my chicks sneezing. I read it could be dust or it could be a sinus infection other than that they are fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hello everyone!
One of my girls has been sneezing occasionally so I've decided to give her some VetRx for the next couple days as a precaution. Is it OK to eat the eggs? Any advice on what to do with a sneezing chicken would also be appreciated. She is not lethargic, does not have a runny...
Hello, Im new to having chickens and my baby started sneezing and closing her left eye. Now she has nasal drippings (clear) and dirt sticks to it!! But she eats/moves a lot, drinks fine, has NO wheezing or respiratory sounds... what could this be? Thank you.
I was out all day and my chickens both had water and food but it was quite hot today - so i took them inside when i got home. But when they got in the coop both of them wouldn't stop sneezing. Have they caught something from the wild birds? They weren't like this yesterday! They seem to have...
Hi there,
I adopted a blue laced red wyandotte who turned out to be very sick with something. Rattle in the chest, very snotty, sneezing and sniffling. I had her in quarantine for weeks, and she finally recovered. As soon as I stuck her in the yard, the other two hens got sick but to a much...
Hello everyone my name's Rebecca! I'm new to BYC and raising chickens! BIT of background: I raised 5 day old chicks. At 7 weeks one turned out to be a rooster that I sadly had to rehome due to zoning regulations.
To keep our flock number at 5 we decided to rescue a similar age pullet (6-7...
