sneezing

[silkiechicken]

I agree with speckled on the issue of antibiotics. I avoid their use as much as possible because if you use them for something that is not really there or is from a non bacterial cause, you risk not having he antibiotics work when you really need them.

Chickens can get food, dirt, grass stuck in the funniest ways on their heads and they can't really do anything about it... I had a rose comb roo have a piece of grass hay stuck in a crevice over his nares and under his comb.

Observe him for a day or so and check out his air way before medicating. Good luck. Hope it's just some boogies in the nares.

No boogies in there. I did a nasal flush. He went from sneezing to coughing and congestion. I talked with Dr. Brown yesterday and he did suggest for me to do the antibiotics now for 10 days. If it would have been just sneezing, I would have just let things be

Hopefully it will be ok and not spread to any others.
