get her to a vets to check for a respiratory infection (assuming she isn't broody and this being the reason for her not getting of the nest - however this doesn't make them sneeze). If they do find she is rattly chest and snotty or bubbly eyed then you will need to treat them all as respiratory infections are contagious  :(
Staffies are softer than you think.

Thankyou so much for replying i am new to this and have been trying to add questions on the site for a while and it was not working.
Gladys is my sussex bantam i had her to the vets 4 weeks ago as she was making rasping sounds, her beak was wide open and she was struggling for air whilst sneezing. The vet gave her a anti inflammitary injection and pescribed Baytril, i kept her seperate from the other 3, a very large red sussex, Barnavelder and a ranger after a couple of days she perked up no end and was back to normal, out scratching running aound like a crazy girl for about 3 weeks and yesterday she has started back with a cough like a duck, wont come out from the nest box or wont feed and drink. She must be a sick little girl as she usually squaks really loud when you try to pick her up and she is just motionless today, her eyes are bright and alert unlike last time when they were half closed, and no fluid from the nostrils, i thought it was only me who fell in love with her flock until i found this site, i spen 5 hours outside the other day running round with an umbrella to keep them dry. We have very mixed weather here in Scotland one day really hot the next freezing cold and wet, i think this is not helping as she is still very young...
