I am new to this! Just brought home chickens and they are making weird noises like they have a cold and are sick...Not sure how to explain the noises. Any ideas? What can I do for them?
 
What kind of bedding are they in? Pine shavings are usually best; cedar shavings should not be used.

If they have clean bedding and there's no chance there's ammonia buildup or something toxic in the bedding, then maybe they have a respiratory infection? You can try antibiotic treatment [TSC carries the meds] Duramycin-10 added to the water, 1 tbls. of the 400 mg type in 1 gal. of water x 14 days.
 
Pine shaving is what Im using for bedding. I have a chicken coop attached to my barn which there is some old build up of poo I think. Maybe I will trying cleaning it out well. It's from previous chickens I believe. Thanks for ur info it helps!!
