Sneezing chicken need help

[PartyOnARoost]

Well, this morning it rained A LOT, and the run got muddy and it smelt like ammonia, so I had to move my tractor to a different spot... While I was doing that, I noticed my White Leghorn started making this really, high pitched sound, kind of like a bark, and she kept doing it... I will check for lice and mites, but is my hen sick? If so, what should I do with her? She is 19 weeks old no eggs, whats wrong?

I am not a chicken expert, but our two baby chicks sneeze too, but it's because they are a frizzle and a silkie and it's normal. I would say watch her closely and if it doesn't clear up in the next 3-5 days then I would contact your vet, Like I said I am NOT a chicken expert. If I were you I would wait for a better answer from the chicken experts around here.

Thank you, and is sneezing support to be common with certain breeds? I honestly want to nurse my hen at home if sick, can't find the time and money to visit a vet. Anyone else?

Sneezing every once in awhile is ok, just like us they get dust in there noses. Watch her, the high ammonia in there could have irratated her respiratory system, which is very fragile iin chickens. Check for runny nose or eyes, wheezing or gurgling sounds when she breaths.
