Welcome to BYC.
Chickens don't actually get "colds" - there are, though, several respiratory infections that can cause symptoms we humans commonly associate with the human cold -- the appropriate treatment will depend on what specific illness your bird is dealing with. What specific symptoms are you seeing in our bird? Is there discharge from the eyes, nostrils or beak? Is the bird having difficulty breathing and, if so, what is the noise you are hearing with the breathing? Is there any swelling, discoloration or abnormality showing in the face, wattles or comb?
