Ongoing sickness

[Zanily]

One of my bantam hens has runny orange/yellow droppings and sneezes quite often.

The hen has had this problem before but it cleared up by itself quite quickly. I've left her for a couple of days but this time the sickness has continued.

The hen is not yet at POL. I raised her as a chick myslef, she has been off heat and happily living outdoors for a few weeks. The rest of my flock seem healthy.

Does anyone know what's wrong?

Thank you earlybird.

The sickness has gone again now. I'm guessing she ate something that didn't agree with her!

Sounds like a mycoplasma to me. A bacterial infection. It is difficult to treat and is contagious to the flock. Try putting her on some antibiotics for a week or so and see if it helps out a bit. It might not hurt to put some vitamins/minerals in the water for a few weeks to pump up the immune system.
