My Red Golden hen has always sneezed occasionally. But, yesterday, my DH said she sounded congested, and this afternoon, I noticed what appeared to be nasal discharge. She looks like she's got debris stuck on her beak. I'm thinking about going out there after dark tonight and getting her off the roost and checking her out. I just don't want to stress her if she is sick. Mine do NOT like being handled.
I've had her since August and I think she's an '08 hatch. Her previous owner had her in with chickens and ducks. My pheasant pen and chicken pen are about 8 ft apart. We just moved them into this new pen about a month ago. She started laying last week and I was planning on loading up the incubator tonight. Just want to give ya'll all the information I can think of on her. It's been very wet here the last week too. Several big storms.
Any ideas what may be going onand what I can do for her?
