Chicken sneeze?

[thekings5]

This morning I went to feed my broilers and one or the hens kept sneezing. Is that something to be worried about?

Maybe a respiratory infection. Any discharge? You might want to post in the section below. Good luck to you!

[Life is Good!]

Our CX did that nearly every meal. Because they were eating crumbles, I think the dust got into their nose as they ate.

But yes, I did some quick research on respiratory infections and watched them closely for a good week before determining that they simply were eating too fast! I took Blu-Kote (on hand) and 'marked' the backs of those birds who were sneezing during meals...that way I could keep track of who was sneezing (if I caught them doing it).

We finished harvesting last week - and each and every one made it well over 5#'s.
