Sneezing hens (only symptom) been going on for months! Any ideas?

[StinkyAcres]

Is the feed pelleted or crumble?

My hens sneeze only symptom, and they act fine and lay regularly. Any ideas what could be going on?

How often?

You have MG in your flock right? You still give Denagard for 3 days each month?

If the only symptom is sneezing, they are acting fine - then I'd just monitor for an additional symptoms like mucous, facial swelling, watery eyes, etc., then if needed, get them started on Tylan or the Denagard.

Hi @Wyorp Rock ! I do have that I think in my flock. Oh lord no im not, I totally forgot about Denagard. Where can I purchase it? I don't want to ever deal with respiratory illnesses again. These new hens aren't as tame as my other girls I had.

You should be able to order Denagard from Amazon or places like Valley Vet, QCSupply, etc.

You can also get Denegard in its generic form from SpringwaterAvian.Farm. She is the admin of a crossbeaks Facebook group and she has all kinds of things for your birds! (Antibiotics and such)

I must be stupid because I read the Denagard dosing instructions and I just need to know how many teaspoons or tablespoons per gallon lol? Also I guess sugar needs to be added so they will drink it?

If dosed appropriately they will drink it plain. 9ml (or 2 teaspoons) per gallon **no more or it will be so bitter they won’t drink it**
