sneezing silkie hen

[Sanna]

I have a black silkie hen that has been sneezing for the last couple of days. At least I think it sounds like a sneeze, sort of a funny noise. I went and trimmed the feathering around her eyes just incase it was the feathers that were aggrivating her. She had a lot of fluff on her face.
There's no runny nose or anything, eyes are clear.
Any suggestions on what I should do? Keep an eye on it and hope the sneezing goes away? Maybe there's something I can give her? I sure hope it's not some sort of a bug because we have eggs hatching as I type.

Believe me, i'm no chicken expert... but you may be dealing with a minor cold? Try feeding supplements... ACV (Apple cider vinegar) or maybe go to your local feed store and buy some Vet RX. (Its a great medication you can put in their water that will boost their systems and fight off colds and flu's.) Keep her warm too and maybe make a mash of some sort mixed with regular chicken feed. (Mashed banana's is a good thing, its got plenty of potassium.

Good luck!

That's what I was thinking, a cold.
I will give it a shot. Thanks!
