A little help if you please

[celticfarmer]

I noticed that my Marans has been sneezing non-stop for at least 2 days. The other birds in the coop are not sneezing that I have observed, just my little marans.

I am headed home in a little bit and I would like to try something to make her life a little better.

What should I do for her when I get home?

They are more like wood shop shavings, but that shouldn't matter as she has been living in them since august and this is the first time she's been sneezing.

 

[Miss Lydia]

does she have any discharge from her nostrils any from the eyes? I would isolate for sure untill your sure it's not contagious.

I have see some stuff fly out of her nose when she sneezes but there isn't any constant discharge that i can see.

I had some of it hit my coat last night but it was gone before I could get a good look at it.
