PixieDust Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Always on a day when I am flat out busy. Winnie and Lily seem to have runny noses which is clear and doesn't seem to smell. They are free ranging more now. Is it ever a case with chickens that they get runny noses that are not requiring anti b's? Or should I phone the vet for some Tylan?

PixieDust Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 Spoken to the vet and he said monitor them for a few days. May be pollen or a virus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollyripkim Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Fingers crossed it's nothing more serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlina Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 One of mine (bought from what I now think is a dubious source) had that for awhile Took to vet, vet said just keep an eye on it. Her eye also looked a bit troubled But after a few weeks it cleared up without any intervention and hasn't come back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Apparently chickens can get hayfever too! Vet told me when I took Tipsy earlier this year. Edited to add that I seem to be suffering a bit with it this year so the pollen count must be really high at the moment. I haven't had it quite so much in recent years, so the birdies might also have a bit of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Glad you rang the vet for peace of mind. I was going to suggest keeping an eye on them for a couple days, not sure what the weathers like there but it may be that they're struggling a bit with the heat. Hopefully they'll be right as rain in a couple days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixieDust Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 Thanks all. Just a catch up. All seems ok, fingers crossed. Gave them ACV and a garlic clove in the water for a few days. The weather has been very hot here and OH been streaming with hayfever and I've even been sneezing this year. So, perhaps it is hayfever.
