crusty beak

[amandabo]

I have a hen that does not act ill but her beak is nostrils are crusty. I haven't heard her sneaze and she doens't act ill. Should I be concerned? I have one other hen that has been sneazing but not discharge from nose/beak.

Some of the poultry respiratory illnesses cause this. Sometimes, though, it is just irritants, like dusty air.
