Runny and bloody nose? Should I be worried?

[Dom95]

My Buff Orpington is about a year and a half and currently keeps getting dried blood under her nostrils. We also noticed she keeps scratching her nose with her claws as well.
Today she sneezed and clear snot came out. Should I be concerned or be doing anything more?!

Currently we started giving her poultry cell direct for a boost and extra protein from meal worms/ mixed worms.
She’s also still eating but not drinking as much water as she usually does. Thanks any advice would be very helpful!!

This was two days ago and today there is new dried blood in the same area

When a chicken scratches at a body part, that's how they let you know that the body part is causing significant discomfort.

It may be an ear they scratch. That means the ear hurts or itches. It may be a foot that is causing pain, so you will see the chicken peck at the foot.

I would guess that your chicken has a sinus infection and it's causing pain. Scratching at the sinus area with the foot is probably what's causing the bleeding. I suggest treating the chicken with Tylan 50. If you are in the US, Tractor Supply often carries it.

Thank you! Weve never experienced this and wasn’t sure how dangerous it is. Is tylan 50 used for infections? I’ll have to check our local tractor supply.

Tylan 50 is a broad spectrum antibiotic especially good for respiratory infections. It comes in an injectible vial and you will need a needle syringe to extract the dose. It's .25ml per pound of weight of the chicken. Once you withdrw the proper dose, twist off the needle, pry open the beak and squirt it into the right side, same side as the crop. Give this dose twice a day for around five days.
