Hi peeps. I have a 6.5 month old pullet who's laying often, eating and drinking well. She is sneezing though. I have a treatment plan but what I'm not sure about is do I bring my hen inside my house when the outside temps are much much colder? She's a cochin. My garage is not a restful place and all the other spots where she can go are with my other chickens. There are a couple of dog crates in the coop that I could put her in. The temps outside are about -3°C and inside my house is 21°C. I'm worried that bringing her in to my house might affect her in a not so great way.
I feel her issue may be dust related because there's sand in my coop and when I put water on it it just drains to the bottom and the top of the sand is dry again. But she's been fine until now (it's also her first winter and she's never been inside for this long before). So I want to take care of this.
Thank you for any help you can offer. I'm hugely appreciative.
