Boybeck Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Hello One of my chickens started sneezing during a moult about three weeks ago. My other three have now started sneezing very occasionally too. What should I do? They're not off their food and are very perky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Rhode Island Red Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Peel and squash a clove of garlic and add it to their water. I guarantee it works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I wish I'd known about the clove of garlic before. I'll use that next time for sure. One of my little hens, Doodle, was sneezing and then my cockerel, Dill started. I got him second hand and I don't think that he is all that young (perhaps 4 years old?). Although Doodle soon got better, Dill got a runny nose - well beak - and his crow went all funny as if he had a sore throat. Even though neither were off their food and both continued to come out and scratch about, I took them both to the vet and they have been on Baytril for a week. Both seem better now, thank goodness, but I had to throw away any eggs. That felt like such a waste The vet said that they probably caught a cold off of a wild bird.

I guarantee it works Not wishing to contradict but, mine always have garlic in the water, not crushed as such tho. They still got a chest bug that Tylan soon sorted.
