sneezing chicken
« on: May 06, 2009, 16:46 »
hello again!

One of our pekin's has started sneezing (or at least that's what it sounds like). She seems fine otherwise. She's been tripping round the garden with the others.

I'm still quite new to chickens, so is this normal? Do chickens get colds?

Thanks for any help!

Mark

No, they don't get colds (not the kind we have). 

Keep an eye on her and if her breathing becomes rattly or she gets a runny nose or bubbly eyes then I would get the vet to give her some antibiotics.

oh dear. We will keep a close eye on her then. Should we keep her seperate from our other 2?

Thank you for the advice.
