Hi everyone. I have a hen who is wheezing a lot and coughing. I have her isolated from the flock as none of the others are doing this. She is eating and drinking well and otherwise acting normal. Her stools are normal as well. This morning i had to move some of the bedding (straw) around in their house and I started noticing this about 3 hours later. Could it be that she caught a bit of dust from moving things around, or should I be worrying about something like gape worm, or infection? Thanks for any help. I really appreciate it.
 
Chickens sneeze for the same reason we do... dust in the air, water in the nostrils. You only need to worry if it's accompanied by nasal discharge or a change in behavior.
