Really worried!! ADVICE NEEDED

[ch1mk1n]

I have already bought another coop so that problem is already solved.

however if there is actually a serious problem, how am i supposed to deal with it? I have no medicine and no vets. What can I do? @Isaac 0

Here are some pics btw sorry for the blurry ness she wouldn’t stay still also her nostrils are like curved in so she doesnt have any mucus although it looks like she does

And here’s the new coop, still deciding what to put under it. We can’t keep her outside because we have many wild animals so we usually keep her inside.

Ok so she's an inside chicken? Have turned your furnace on recently? I know I have been sneezing and snuffy ever since we turned our furnace on. What do you feed her? Do you use any bedding like pine shavings?

She's a pretty girl!

No i haven't turned my furnace on, I use pine shavings and for the feed i'm not so sure but it looks like tiny brown rocks, thank you!

Ok. Sometimes pine shavings can cause a bit of sneezing. If she is eating well, drinking well, breathing ok, eyes and nose clear (no discharge) I wouldn't worry too much. If you have oregano and fresh garlic on hand you can give her a bit of that as a natural antibiotic if you would like. Chop it up and mix a bit in some wet food. Maybe half a clove. Keep her bedding clean (important) and make sure she has ventilation (very important).

she sneezes probably around more than 10 times a day, for the feed i'm not so sure, i only have one hen-, i cant really post pictures but i'll admit her setup isn't the cleanest and we will be moving her very soon into a bigger coop.

i got her from a farm, they where selling chickens so i got two (one of them passed). they gave us all we needed including the bedding and food so we supposed it was okay.

p.s: i dont think we can get any sort of medication because of covid and weve never had a pet so we dont have a local vet either. plus, chickens are illegal in canada.

My chickens recently had a respiratory issue. I believe it came from a cockerel we had recently added to the flock. I was in the same boat about getting medication from a vet. With some research I found VetRX Pouktry Aid on Amazon. I used it in their water and put some in their nesting boxes and within 3 days their coughs and wheezing had cleared up.

Ooh thank you guys!

" If she is eating well, drinking well, breathing ok, eyes and nose clear (no discharge) " yes shes doing all that and is showing no signs of illness.

I believe I have already suggested what you should do if you look at my previous posts.

Regarding the garlic, that is your choice, just realize there have been deaths reported directly due to feeding raw garlic cloves to birds. If you ask most vets, they will tend to suggest away from using it in such cases.
