3 days ago I noticed that one of my girls gave a couple of sneezes.
This morning whilst looking and checking her outnot only is she sneezing but has a funny eye with milky looking stuff at one corner.
Any suggestions what I should do for this. Would putting cider vinegar in th water help or do you think it is time for a trip to the vet.
Apart from this she seems happy enough,poo is normal and she is eating and drinking. None of the other 5 are affected.

Re: sneezing chicken
Definately NOT a mug of chicken soup!! A box of Puffs Plus and a hot toddy?
Hope your hen feels better soon.

What if you're wrong? What if there's more? What if there's hope you never dreamed of hoping for?

Re: sneezing chicken
they can get colds
and i have before had a chicken that got a seed or something in its eye and it went a bit mucky
but sneezy and mucky eyes can be a sign of mycoplasmia and this can be fatal. if if you hold her and listen, is she wheezy?
myco can be treated with tylan which you can only get from a vet and its put in their water.
or you could isolate her and see what happens.
i dont think cider vinegar in the water will help no - that is sposed to be to prevent worms

Re: sneezing chicken
thanks for the reply ,I took her to the vet last week and it is mycoplasma so I have the powder to add to the water daily for 7 days. This I finished this morning and she is still sneezing and a bit gunky eyed so have just spoken to the vet again and we will try some more antiB's which I will pick up tomorrow.
I had wondered about Mycoplasma so am glad I took her to the vet after all.
