why do chickens sneeze?

Question

Ok this morning I fed my Chickens and they were sneezing. I have never seen this before. What are the possible problems and other symptoms I should be looking for. Thanks

Answer 1

Chickens do sneeze. It could be from dust, especially if you are in a dry, hot area. But it could also be from a number of chicken respiratory diseases. This site gives other symptoms to look for:

Chickens also sometimes get ordinary colds, which they usually recover from. So don't panic! Just keep an eye on your flock and, if it gets worse, consult a vet who knows about poultry.
