Sick chicken???

[lisadee216]

I have an adult chicken who is acting strangely. She is away from the flock, stands still, opens her mouth as if she is swallowing water, then appears to "sneeze". She is also making strange noises, like donkey sounds. Could she be sick? I feed them late a food and they free range in the yard, I never use pesticides. Any ideas?

Yes she sound very sick. It sounds like she has a respiratory disease; Tylan is usually the recommended medication. Is she a bantam or a full sized hen?

Full size hen, a Wyandotte, and now she has some diarrhea. Her comb is flopping, but she is eating and drinking, and is active. One of my chickens laid a soft egg last week, but I am not sure if it was her. I did put some antibiotics in the water this morning.:/
Thanks for your help.
