Sneezing

[Lbkilby]

I have three ladies that are three months old. I've had them since they were a week old. Since I've had them they have sneezed. They're growing, eating, acting normal but they sneeze all the time. No discharge, no swelling, no drooping, no lethargy. Wondering if our dry Colorado weather/all the fires in our state can make them sneeze this much? I've run through all types of bedding and food. No change. Wondering if sneezing can be normal? I've read through all the respiratory diseases and my ladies aren't showing any symptoms of any of them. Anyone else have Sneezy chickens?

Could most definitely be the ashes of the fire smoke particles in the air. I’d still watch them as normally sneezing is a first sign of a respiratory infection. I hope your hens feel better soon!

Thanks so much! It snowed and that seemed to cause some more sneezing. Still acting normally and eating and drinking fine, but I added a little vetrx to the water. Hope that clears things up
