hen sounding snotty.....

[Barnyard]

I have a little oegb hen that is sounding a little snotty(sp)
She is eating and drinking and don't act like she feels bad. No draining from nose or eyes, poo looks fine. Appeares to be perfectly healthy just snotty..... I was holding her this morning when I noticed it. What could this be and what should I do? Thanks for any help!

I would give her a dose of Terramycin. 2 teaspoons per gallon of water. I would also give her some Vitamins and Electrolytes. 1 teaspoon per gallon.

Good Luck.

Where can someone buy Terremycin? Just curious.

You can get it at your local feedstore, like Tractor Suppy.

Ok. Thankyou very much!

Your welcome. I would give her medicine for at least a week. I had to do that when I got some silkies this year. They were all snotty sneezing, and the terramycin did the trick.

Tiffany, when I saw your topic heading I immediately thought your hen was giving you attitude!

Hope she's better soon!
