CHICKEN

[ALBALD1]

I have 3 hens. One seems to be a lot less active than the other 2. all hatched last spring. This particular hen seems to get more rough treatment from the roosters & is the bottom of the order w/ the other hens as well. I figured that was why she wasn't as active. In the last couple days, I thought I heard her sneeze. I don't even know if chickens sneeze, but thats what it sounds like. Does this seem like something to be concerned about?

Chickens can get respiratory infections and it can be bad for the entire flock.
