Hi Mr Rhode Island red here with another problem

 

One of my Rhode Island Reds, Sadie GNR seems to be acting strange lately.

 

During the day she will suddenly sneeze, not unusual, and then immidiately extend her neck, make a sound rather similar to "honk" and repeat 5 or 6 times. Then run off and act normally again. She is also doing this at night.

 

I am worried because this is one of the symptoms my Light Sussex hen, Helen (white chicken) RIP had while she had pneumonia.

 

I should also mention that all my birds are moulting.

 

All answers and suggestions welcome! :)

One of mine did this a couple of weeks ago, she had 2 lots of antibiotics but still sneezes every now and again. I think she will be back to the vet next week :( I have ordered some citricidal which should come today to use in the meantime.

 

Update: I just took her to the vet as she was very rattly and she had another antibiotic injection and will have a repeat on tuesday as she does have a respiratory infection again :( Good news is that she is still quite happy and it was only £6 - I love my vet :D
