Chicken Allergies?

[Chelie97]

Not sure where to post this so I apologize give not in right area. I have 11 chickens different breads. Different ages also. But one of my girls she is a black moran and she has always since a chick has a a runny nose. Does this mean she has allergies? My girl is 24 weeks I have had her since she hatched and her nose id always dripping some days not as much as others. Its not a problem just curious if chickens have allergies.

While chicken CAN have allergies, look her over for other signs of disease:
discolored swollen abdomen
diarrhea
labored breathing
weight loss
standing hunched with droopy wings
discolored comb (bluishat the ends or whitish)

She has never had any of the other issues she just sneezes in morning and evening. We thought she was sick when she was just a chick but it has never went away and she is an good laying pullet now, that sneezes

But if it was an illness, she has had it for all 24 weeks of her life. Wouldn’t it of progressed to more the sneezing and having a runny nose

Respiratory illnesses can be mild and most are carried for life,
not getting severe unless birds health declines for some other reason.
