Hi,
I was down to one hen, then 6 days ago introduced 2 new pullets. Yesterday my original hen started sneezing and now it's nearly constant. No discharge, no watery eyes, funny moaning sound but not with every breath. Acting otherwise healthy. Isolated her in the broody cage last night. She is drinking water, might be eating, but not sure. I'm fairly new to chickens (started in September) so I don't know about remedies or where to buy them. I have read some posts on the subject, but am not sure if I should try to track down vitamins, VetRx, antibiotics for her water, or what. If my new ones gave something to my older one, should I treat the new ones also? They have no symptoms.
