I have this ~one year old hen who has been sneezing intermittently for the past couple of weeks, but wasn’t able to identify which hen it was and get my hands on her until a couple of days ago because she wouldn’t sneeze in front of me I have no idea what’s going on with her. She sounds raspy, she’s gaping and sneezing, and stroking her throat makes her cough/sneeze/choke, but I can’t actually find anything wrong with her. Her nostrils are clear, she doesn’t have any drainage, and none of her flockmates have any symptoms. She has no external parasites (she is just looking raggedly bc I have a pair of Orloffs who love to pull cheeks and beards, or at least I think it’s them because they’re the only ones with intact face fluff), and when I shone a light through her throat to check for gapeworm I didn’t see anything (beyond some inflammation? I’m not sure). Her throat looks clear.
Any ideas would be great. I’m ordering some vetrx poultry remedy as some supplemental support, but beyond that I’m not sure what to do.
