hi everyone, I've had my two POL chickens for 5 weeks now and they are pretty happy and laying an egg a day. We have a Bluebelle and a little Columbian Blacktail. We went away for a weekend last week and my friends looked after them, keeping ours seperate from their flock, but ours escaped and interacted with her flock, without any mishaps luckily. Nutmeg has started to display sniffles and her nasal holes are quite sticky and keeps getting covered in soil while she pecks around. I'm wiping it with babywipes and have got some poultry potion you dilute in their water, she is eating happily and scratching around, but sneezes occaisonally. Is there anything I can do without involving a trip to the vet for antibiotics? Many thanks, Kathy

Just let them out for a run this morning and cleans her nostrils but she sounded very chesty and bubbly. Do chickens get chest infections? HELP !! She's happy wandering around and was first to the breakfast pile, so she's not off her food luckily. should i take her to the vet to get antibiotics?
