Sneezing

[Jed MacPhee]

Hi some of our hens have started sneezing a bit how worrying is this? I’ve had some natural remedies I orders to put in their water but hasn’t really helped yet and ive been disinfecting the house for a while is there any other remedies I could use?

How long since you’ve cleaned the coop? Is it very often? Have you checked them for other signs of sickness? What bedding are you using (run, and coop)? Not all sneezing in chickens is bad. Often dust is why chickens sneeze.

They don’t seem to have any other illness I recently made a bigger house for them I have a bale of straw I use for bedding and stick down some chainsaw saw dust on the floor maybe that could be the problem?

They may be sick because you didnt clean there area or it could reason that there outside and something could of made them sick.

Is the chainsaw dust loose? It could be pollen in the air, or dust in general. I’d clean out their coop, replace the bedding and see if that helps with the sneezing.
