My husband and I bought 6 ducklings 5 days ago. They are now 7 days old. We keep them in our basement in a wooden box 3'*5' brooder with heat lamp next to the wood stove. A few days ago I noticed one of the ducklings we're "sneezing" in the water then it started sneezing out of the water now...
Hey y'all
I have three GLWs 4 weeks old and four BOs 3 weeks old. I let them outside for the first time today for about 10 minutes and it seemed they enjoyed it. However 2 of my BOs began sneezing and one had some clear discharge coming out of it's nostril. Otherwise they seemed fine and happy...
My flock of (5 weeks old) 15 chicks and 3 ducks, plus 3 littler 3 week old chicks...I noticed a couple of the older ones sneezing today, got a little more concerned when I felt a wetness spray on me with one sneeze.
They’ve been out in their heated coop with access to their not-heated run for...
My 3-4 week old runner duckling, Waldo, has been itching around his beak a lot since I got him 5 days ago. Recently he has started sneezing more but I don’t think there is any discharge around his nose. He just acts differently to my other ducklings but he eats and drinks loads, runs around and...
Hi all,
We are new to chicken diseases but have had chickens for over a year now. Here’s the situation. We own three chickens and we got three more recently. They are in the same pen now but are separate from each other. All of them came from the same local farmer. There is a cream leg bar in...
I have a salmon Faverolles that has been sneezing consistently for the past 6 months or so. She is only about a year old. Other than the consistent sneezing she seems healthy and lays consistently, but she sneezes and shakes her head several times per minute. They coop and run is not dusty and...
Hi my loves, Im back and a bit anxious.
Edit to add: After researching I did see that those symptoms are present in Gapeworms, but like I said, she is only kept indoors, alone, in a sterile brooder, so how would she have gotten gapeworms? It says they get it from infected feces of earthworms...
Today one of my birds starting sneezing/coughing regularly and I am looking for a treatment.
I've ruled out tapeworm, she does not have a runny nose or eyes. She is laying, eating, drinking, running around like normal. Her mood/habits haven't change a all. Tomorrow I'm cleaning the coop to...
So, I have had my flock for a number of years now. The old owners of my house left their flock, and I added onto it over time. The only problem was that the chickens the old owners left me sneezed, and now so do my additions. I also want to breed for show and sale, and with sneezing chickens...
I've posted on facebook asking for advice on one of my particularly large Cochin hens. I bought her as a novice chicken owner, she's just over a year old. I think, now, after research that she once suffered from a Pendulous Crop that won't ever fully be normal - despite my efforts to keep her...
Hello,
Firt time writer, long time reader!
My sister is caring ffa broilers. We had these chicks for a week. Bit earlier in the week I noticed a lot of sneezing. I dismissed it assuming it was due to the crumble getting into their nostrils.
Unfortunately, I think I'm wrong. They are sneezing...
Hello Everyone,
I recently purchased a pair of Serama chickens and both seem healthy other than the hens peculiar mucus related issues. Last night I noticed when I picked her up that she had two small streams of clear liquid coming out of her nose. At first I thought she had just dunked her...
Hi all,
My 27 week old EE pullet started wheezing... LOUDLY about 30 minutes ago. She's also just started sneezing too. She's ready to lay her first egg any moment and when I first heard it, thought she was doing the pre-egg whiny thing that most of them do but this was different. She has clear...
One of my five 8 month old pullets has had a sneeze that comes and goes, twice accompanied by rales. She is the only one and she has no other symptoms. Her eyes are clear. No discharge anywhere. She always has a good appetite, is active, scratching, dust bathing, preening and yelling at me...
I have two 4-5 week old chicks that I've had almost 4 weeks. Since the day after I got them they have been sneezing with on and off bouts of congestion/wheeziness. They're growing, eat and drinking like normal other than the sneezing. The lady I got them from said she had URI infection going...
Ok I've read so much I've confused myself . One of my hens eyes are watery and almost swollen shut . She has no other symptoms. The rest of the flock is good other than a sneeze here and there but all eyes and nostrils are clear . The hen with the swollen eyes has clear nostrils as well. I'm...
Hi, I'm a new chicken keeper and I have 6 one-month old chicks, three black sex links and three buff Orpingtons. They all seem very active and healthy, and are eating and drinking just fine. However, two of the black sex links have been sneezing (ever since I got them). It's not very...
Hi everyone,
I have 10 chickens of varying ages between 3 months-2 years. They are all currently sick with a respiratory illness. It started 3 days ago. Some hens are worse off than others. Symptoms are sneezing, coughing, wheezing, gurgling in chest but NO nasal discharge, eye issues...
Hello everyone, I am desperately seeking help for my girls. I inquired at a few local vets offices and it seems the nearest Poultry vet is about 2 hours away from us. I have three hens in a coop and two in another. The two are new and I bought them from a flea market. They showed no signs of...
I've got a 8-month-old hen that's been sneezing a lot. I noticed it last week while they were having their afternoon free range time. Her sneezes start and continue on for at least 5 minutes back to back. Other than that she wasn't acting funny at all, no discharge from eyes or nose and didn't...
