52fish Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 One of our Faverolles is sneezing (poor thing). We've added poultry tonic to the water - any other suggestions? It's our first chicken to get a cold, hence not sure what we should do and appreciate all help. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loumabel Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 You could try Citricidal added to their water and pop a clove of garlic in too. If there is any sign of rattly chest or runny nose, swollen or bubbly eyes, I would take them to the vet for antibiotics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfer_chicken Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Have you changed your bedding recently? Mine sneeze if I use sawdust so I had to go back to paper. If not I hope they recover soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Does she seem to have a slightly runny nose and a weezy voice? If so then it could be an infection. If this is the case then a bit of baytril from the vet will quickly put a stop to sneezes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
52fish Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 Thanks for the help / comments / suggestions. At this stage just seems to be the sneezes. If there's any deterioration, I'll head for anti biotics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
