Some of my hens seem to be sneezing more than usual. Winter has just kicked in here and the mornings are quite chilly.
I can't really remember my last Winter so can't remember if they sneezed at all. They seem to be sneezing more in the mornings than in the afternoon ( those are the times I am down in the run ). None of the hens have discharge around the nostrils except one pullet, but she isn't sneezing.
I have just finished battling mites so their coop floor it just a wooden board as I have been scared to put material back down. So the poo was filling up and it wasn't smelling bad just hard to breathe, so this would have helped. Do I need more ventilation?
At the moment my coop allows air in 2 places and In the day I keep the door open to air things out. Would adding another window help?
Do the hens need something to help them get over the sniffles?
I do not have TYLAN 50 where I am.
