Cochin hen sneezing

To positively identify a disease you will need to have a chicken tested, or have a necropsy done. Your state vet can answer questions--here is a locator: http://agr.wa.gov/FoodAnimal/AnimalHealth/statevets.aspx

You have to be patient with a respiratory disease. Infectious bronchitis takes 5 weeks to get over, coryza can last up to 2 months, and I'm not sure how long mycoplasma lasts. If it's bacterial the AB's can help, but if it's a virus, it has to run it's course.

If you are talking about the eggs or her meat, you need to wait 1 day for oral Tylan and 14 days for Tylan injectable to use the eggs or meat.

I'd use less, as a three month old bantam won't be its full size yet. Maybe give around .3ccs, to be safe.

I have mix of one gorgeous cochin rooster, 4 cochin hens,and 3 survivors from another person's flock. cochins i've had since last summer. the one red hen and two white and speckled mix breeds
are the last survivors of a chicken hawk from another person which i have had about 3 months. get 3-4 eggs a day. I have lots of straw for them in the coop and a heat lamp some nights when its
freezing. Every one is eating and drinking and seem healthy except one speckled hen, she sneezes and has for over a week. being winter, my coop is getting a little smelly, could it be that?
Coop was there before me and I closed in a covered chicken yard but didn't plan for a wheelbarrel to get thru. So its difficult to clean out. They free range alot so its not real dirty, but might that
be the problem? My chickens are more like pets, even the new ladies.

Chickens can sneeze from dust in feed or in the coop, ammonia odors, mold, or from respiratory diseases. Make sure that your coop has overhead ventilation, without direct drafts on the chickens. Watch for signs of a respiratory infection, such as watery or bubbly eyes, runny nose, rattles when breathing, sneezing or coughing, or swelling around an eye or the face.
