Chicken has a runny nose..?

[abbymckinn]

Hey, my chicken, who is a production red, has some black looking dried goop on one side of her beak, coming from her nostril. She is coughing and sneezing, not a lot, but I still would like to know what's wrong with her, he has had it for a while, and none of my other birds are effected. Thanks!

It's a safe bet that all your other birds are carriers of whatever she is showing symptoms of. I would have her tested and find out what it is. Your county extension agent or local ag college may be able to handle this, or your state vet's office.

Ok, but it's nothing life threatening right? And thank you for your response!

Some of these diseases carry a higher mortality than others. I don't believe any are curable. It will take some time to do the reading. This is one source, which was also linked in my reply above:

Ok, cause she has had it or a while and doesn't seem to be effecting her in any other way other than sneezing.
