Hi all,
I recently acquired a new hen for my small backyard flock. She's likely a random mix of breeds and resembles a small game hen. Previous owner said she was in perfect health with no sneezing, just bullied by other hens.
Since being introduced to my other hens, she has sneezed every 5-10 minutes but has no other symptoms. Her comb/face is bright red and she's very active, not struggling to breathe or raspy... She previously lived in a large backyard farm area so I'm thinking the sudden transition to her current environment or other environmental stressors are causing the sneezing. I also put Tiaguard in her water. Are these reasonable assumptions to make or is it concerning?
