Sneezing chickens
« on: November 05, 2008, 12:53 »
Hi All,

A couple of my hens are sneezing a bit. Anything to worry about? anything I should be doing?

Also, should grit be given in a pot, or just scattered for them to find?

Thanks

Hi Evansent

Does everything else seem ok?
Poops,
eye's, nose - no discharge?
Any funny smell near the mouth?

As for the grit, I leave that & oyster shell down in 2 separate dishes all the time, they go to it when they want some :D

Sarah :)

All look really well, all eating (lots) and love Mealworms!!! Now all will feed out of my hand and Henrietta (amberlink) sits on my Knee.  

Can't see any discharge from nostrils and eyes look bright.  Did find a bit of a disturbing poop though, have photographed it (I know what you are like!!! :wink: )  will put on later when my techno head husband is home.
It looks like a piece of gristle running through it, YUK!!!


Thanks
