Hen with runny nose and sneezing

[Ada06]

One of my 6 laying hens came out of the coop today with a runny nose and sneezing. I haven't introduced any new birds and she was acting perfectly fine yesterday. Is there anything I can do to help her get better quick? Thank you!!

She is a little over a year

She is walking slower and her voice sounds hoarse.

She is also puffed up now.

Should I separate her? I feel like she has already contaminated the rest.

 

[Ada06]

Should this effect laying or anything?

@aart
Do you know what it could be? She is no better today. I deep cleaned their coop hoping that was the problem.

Can you get some video of her so we can hear and see her behaviors?

What all and how exactly do you feed?

This is what I do when I have a bird that is acting 'off'.
I isolate bird in a wire cage within the coop for a day or two....so I can closely monitor:
-their intake of food and water,
-crop function(checking at night and in morning before providing more feed),
-and their poops.
Feel their abdomen, from below vent to between legs, for squishy or hard swelling. Check for external parasites or any other abnormalities.


Best to put crate right in coop or run so bird is still 'with' the flock.
I like to use a fold-able wire dog crate (24"L x 18"W x 21"H) with smaller mesh(1x2) on bottom of crate under tray.
Then you can put tray underneath crate to better observe droppings without it being stepped in. If smaller mesh is carefully installed, tray can still be used inside crate.

I will get one once I am home. I feed the whole flock organic layer, with oyster shells on the side. Treats include: ( not daily) catfood, grapes, and occasional cereal. They also free range around the yard (no pesticides). I can separate her in a crate tomorrow. Thank you!
