Wheezing and sneezing

[Webbykins]

I have a chicken who I just noticed wheezing tonight. There's been some sneezing as well. She's eating. Drinking. No eye discharge or nose discharge I've seen. What should I do at this point?

See if you can get her some powdered lincomycin-spectinomycin. Tylosin could work as well. A spoonful per gallon of drinking water, ideally for the whole flock since respiratory spreads. Otherwise, apple cider vinegar and probiotics can help strengthen the immune system.

Also make sure there's no draft where they sleep.

Is she acting weird other than the sneezes. If not, similar thing happened to me and it was nothing. The same two chicks are alive and happy.

Just the wheezing

No draft

They might just be sick

That's what I think but wasn't sure if there was anything I could do to help move it along

Thank you!

Sounds like mycoplasma. The treatment is oral tetracycline (doxycycline).
