Chirping
My chicken has begun to form a habit of sneezing and wheezing after being fed. This is the third time it’s happened. My husband gave them scratch yesterday and soon after our Easter egg we hen started sneezing again. She sounds like something is blocking her breathing through her nose and she acts like she’s trying to sneeze. I can’t get her mouth open long enough to check but I saw the slit at the top of the beak and I’m wondering if they can get food stuck up there? Any thoughts? She makes a humming type groan when she breathes out. The first two times it happened I isolated her. This time I’ve let her go but it started yesterday afternoon and in the past it’s resolved by the next day. I don’t know how to help her expel whatever is stuck.
Is there a way to feed her that will prevent this happening again?
