Sneezing

It sounds like your chicken might have some respiratory irritation. When they sneeze and make a toy-like sound, it could be a sign of something like a mild cold, a respiratory infection, or possibly an issue with dust or ammonia in their environment. Here are a few things you can try:

1. Check the environment: Make sure the coop is well-ventilated and not too dusty. High ammonia levels from droppings or a dusty environment can irritate their respiratory system.
2. Vitamin Support: Sometimes adding vitamin supplements with added vitamin A or vitamin C can help boost their immune system. You can get chicken-specific supplements, like Poultry Nutri-Drench.
3. Humidifier: If the air is too dry (especially with the cold temperatures you're dealing with), using a humidifier in the coop can help with their respiratory health.
4. Antibiotics (If Necessary): If it doesn't improve, you may want to consider giving them a mild antibiotic for respiratory issues. Tylosin or Oxytetracycline are commonly used in chickens for respiratory infections, but I’d recommend checking with a vet first to make sure you're getting the right treatment.

If her condition doesn’t improve or you notice other symptoms (like nasal discharge, lethargy, or swelling), it would be good to get her checked by a vet to rule out any serious infections like Mycoplasma or Infectious Bronchitis. Keep an eye on her, and let me know how she’s doing!

It could possibly be a cold, a respiratory infection, or even something like a respiratory virus (e.g., Infectious Bronchitis). It’s a good sign that she’s still eating and drinking, but you should definitely keep a close eye on her.

Here are a few things you can try at home:

• Keep her warm: Make sure she’s in a warm, dry environment, as cold stress can worsen respiratory symptoms.
• Use garlic or apple cider vinegar in water: Some people suggest adding a small amount of garlic or a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to her drinking water. These are believed to have mild antibacterial properties and may help with respiratory issues.
• Ensure good ventilation: Poor airflow in the coop can contribute to respiratory problems. Make sure the coop is clean, well-ventilated, and protected from drafts.
• Monitor her closely: Watch for any other symptoms, such as nasal discharge, wheezing, or lethargy.

If she doesn’t improve or if new symptoms develop, it’s a good idea to contact a vet who specializes in poultry for an accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Feel free to share more details about her symptoms if you'd like more specific advice.
