I bought a new red hen last week at the market and she has been wsnezzeing since then. She eats and drinks well and stays with the flock but she did stay in the hen house the first few days. Shes young so has not laid yet
 
Are you trying to figure out what she has and what to do about it? Likely a respiratory infection of some kind. There are lots of posts/info on this if you're wanting to do research. Just search here in BYC on "respiratory infection" or via Goggle. You can also read my post on this where I had a pretty bad issue with this, https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/779812/distinguising-between-different-respiratory-diseases

Here are some other links too:

These *can* (doesn't mean they are all) be serious illnesses, especially in younger chicks. Not sure the exact age of yours. Also most respiratory infections are contagious so not sure if you have other chickens but if yes, you may want to not integrate or separate this one.

Hope this helps,
