I have a flock of 11 hens and one rooster. I have been watching closely 2 hens that have been sneezing for a while now with no other symptoms. About 10 days ago I had a hen that was showing classic distress with feathers ruffled, not moving around and wings drooping. I brought her inside (she was unusually easy to catch) and warmed her up and returned her to the coop that evening under heat lamps. She seemed fine but has not laid an egg in 2 weeks. I am thinking maybe molting. Today I have another hen, she looks dirty around her head but not in nostrils, mouth or eyes, she is standing around ruffled feathers drooping wings. I was able to pick her up with little effort as well. The poo looks fine I don't see worms in it she ate and drank. Any ideas of what could be going on? I have also noticed egg yolk on the droppings board but no shell, some of the birds appear as though they have been eating yolk.. its on their faces. Im new to keeping and have just an array of "strange things" going on. Any help would be appreciated
