Clear runny noses, and sneezing?

We have a lot of chickens and when it gets cold there nose will get a lil runny, and it’s clear and they sneeze . But this isn’t like sick type sneezing if you get what I mean. I’ve dealt with mycoplasma before I don’t let chickens stay in my flock that have had it. This isn’t mycoplasma and I don’t think there sick I’m just curious if that stuff happens to perfectly healthy birds?

Mycoplasma g. should be considered to be carried by your flock after you've had a case crop up. It's riding around in their cells just waiting for stress to activate it. Then the symptoms can be very mild requiring no treatment to serious symptoms requiring an antibiotic.

It sounds like the current symptoms are from a mild bacterial infection and require no treatment as long as the chickens' immune systems can cope.

About the only way to rid a flock of MG is to get rid of all the flock and disinfect thoroughly and then begin with new chicks or chickens.

That’s what I did. To my knowledge these birds have not had mg
