My chicken is sneezing and raising her neck and bawking. (almost like coughing)
It started a few weeks ago i reli didn't think any thing of it. but she just keeps doing it and I'm starting to get worried. Its not like a normal bawking like they sometimes do.I have a video below of her doing it. It seems like she is still eating and drinking just fine. any one have any suggestions on what i can do to help her? and why she might be doing it?? any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks

She may have CRD (chronic respitory disease). Try Tylan 50 soluble. It mixes in the drinking water. The downside is there is a waiting period of eating the eggs after end of treatment. You can isolate her so the other hens' eggs won't have to be tossed. I have a couple of 'tweens going through it right now.
say "God Bless You". It's just the appropriate thing to do.

I would agree with the tylan, but if you cannot find it or have axcess to it for some reason, Try putting a tbsp of vinegar and some vitamins in her water. This way you can still eat the eggs, although Ive heard they can get a slight funky smell or taste. I did this when my chickens were doing the exact same wheezing. Only a couple of my 18 got the sneeze and got over it about a week later. Try either one and let us now how shes feeling in a couple days

Honestly I've been using g2 powder(gatorade) cuz it's cheaper but u can get vita/electrolyte supplements at any agi store like tractor supply or agway. And use either apple cider or red wine vinegar, whichevers cheaper, vinegar is vinegar
 
ok i gave her some water with apple cider vinegar and some multi vitamin crushed up. I'll keep you guys updated. Thanks for all the help very much appreciated.
