Title: Chooks "Sneezing"
Post by: whitby_sam on September 15, 2010, 08:16:24 pm

Some of my chooks are sneezing, no nasal or eye discharge, just little sneezes. They're still laying ok and seem fine in themselves. Definitely eating well! Any thoughts?

A few of mine are sneezing. I find it happens periodically and they get over it.

it is funny u should say that because just recently my girlfriend keeps telling me that she sees them sneezing me but i did not believe but perhaps she was right after all! maybe i should listen to her next time  ;)  perhaps it is to do with the weather  ??? we have never seen them do it before, we have not noticed any change in their health and they are still laying well!   perhaps it is just hayfever  ;D

it can be the sawdust it could be a bug. if its just the odd sneeze don't worry to much. but do watch them.
