My 6week ish old golden comet pullet has clear snot/snot bubbles and she keeps sneezing. I gave her vetrx but she sounds more congested to me. I just got them last Sunday. (Shes the oldest of the chicks i got and could go outside but I dont want to with her sneeze)

She may be showing signs of MG (mycoplasma gallisepticum,) a chronic respiratory disease. Have you seen any bubbles or foam. In either eye? It is lifelong, but symptoms may be treated with an antibiotic such as Tylosin 1 tsp per gallon of water for 5 days. Others are TiaGard or Denagard used for 5 days in the water. Oxytetracycline is another drug uses. Here is one pigeon supplier that has it, and jedds.com is another:

Does she sneeze often round the clock? Have any others seemed to have it as well? Infectious bronchitis virus is another common respiratory disease. It is hard to tell the difference in mild cases.
 
Shes been consistently sneezing and i havent noticed any bubbles or the liquid in her eyes. She does get snot bubbles on her nostrils though.

Im debating on taking her to the vet next week after memorial day but thats $150.

I also dont want to willy nilly antibiotics bc of super bacteria
