Sneezing Chicken
« on: March 06, 2012, 11:57 »
Hi everyone,

I've recently had my chickens a few weeks now, and I think one of them has a cold. She keeps making little sneezing sounds (almost fairy like!). I did a bit of research and was told that Avipro is a good product to add to their drinking water to help them back to health. Has anyone else used this? Can anyone recommend anything else that can help her.

She seems absolutely fine Apart from the odd sniff. and she is fully vaccinated so I don't think it is anything more sinister.  But I couldn't bare the thought of her feeling unwell.

Thanks,

Charlotte

I would take her to a vets she may need antibiotics. Chickens don't get colds like us but can get several types of respiratory infections.
You say she is fully vaccinated but which vaccines has she been given as there are an awful lot of different ones.
Staffies are softer than you think.

It was quite  a vigorous amount of vaccinations which are:

Maerks disease
Salmonella
Newcastles
Gumboro
Infectious bronchitus
Mycoplasma
Avian Encephalomyelitis
Infectious Bronchitis Variants
Avian Rhinotracheitis 
Egg drop syndrome
