2 Sneezy Hens

[MountainMomma84]

Hello everyone, I have 8 pullets that are around 23 weeks old. Everyone is healthy and in good shape but I have 2 Wyandotte's that are sneezing. It's been a week now. I've done VetRX, garlic, electrolyte's, probiotics, and vinegar. We clean their noses and eyes twice a day. They act normal, eat, drink, everything is normal. They sneeze often and sometimes ones eye has clear bubbles. All discharge is clear. I've changed their food, swept and dusted the coop, I don't know what else to do .
Any advice?
Thanks everyone

I had one that started like that. It seemed whenever I looked at her she would sneeze. It ultimately progressed into a serious respiratory infection where every breath was a struggle and she was wheezing and sounded like she was snoring. It needed antibiotics and Tylan cleared it up.

I have another pullet that sneezes from time to time. It's been nothing more than that. She seems otherwise healthy. It's never gotten worse. She is either capable of fighting it on her own, or it's just environmental. The dust in the run making her sneeze. She gets no special treatment and is totally fine.

Point being, it could go either way. Keep a close eye on your flock. If it gets any worse, or spreads to another chicken, be prepared to treat with antibiotics. Also keep in mind your birds are likely carriers for life of whatever it is and it can resurface at times of stress or be spread to new birds in your flock.

We put new sand in the run and coop. It is dusty. Perhaps that's the problem
