sneezy question- please give advice

[karen]

I came home from work tonite and one of the hens (Cochin Bantam) was in the hen house, on a roost, sneezing- "psh-choo"and then shaking her head.
When I picked her up her crop and neck were all gurgly. I have her isolated in the pottery studio under a lamp with food, scratch and water. any ideas about what I can do for her?

I can close this post! I just checked in on her and she has stopped the sneezing and seems right as rain!
Do you think she had a hard time with something she ate?
I will be doing some reading up on how chickens digest things today for sure. It will be a better day because she seems well again!

had you changed the bedding? it can be dry and dusty...this will make them sneeze

I use dried pine shavings and just added a fresh bale a week ago when we had a big temp. drop in the weather. The coop seems pretty clean-well- for a chicken coop!
