Alright i will look that up of she continues this odd behavior. Also would you happen to know how to make sure the heb doesnt have a cold? Like is it normal for hens to sneeze? Or shoukd i only be worried if her nose starts to run?

Occasional sneezes are normal.. not constant...

She and the other hens did it 3 times while i was in there (30 mins to an hour) is that too constant?

Too much dust in your coop.... what kind of bedding. how old are the chicks... what is their diet...

agree keep an eye on them and practice being clean from one set to the other sets of birds...

Well in the actual coop we have hay.
But in the run its dirt since they have dug up/eaten all grass.
They are almost a year. We got them last summer and they were already young pullets. I think they were born in march of last year.

I would just keep an eye out.. leave them be for a moment and see what happens... thats a little old to have an impacted crop or vent... but I guess it could happen.

What would you do with the lame pullet?
One of the ladies who bought chicks from me said she knows someone who takes in the wounded if I wanted. I am not sure about a lone lame chick.

she knows someone give it to her!
