    one of my hens seems to be sneezing at one/two minute intervals, she has a little bit of a wet nasal area, anyone any ideas? is it something simple or should she be off to the vet?

    The vet will cost you more than the hen is worth. I keep hens and we used to keep 40 hens years ago and never heard a hen sneeze. I would think that you are over reacting.

    Isolate her, give the vet a ring...

    We had a hen with a rattle and the vet gave me some antibiotic liquid to put in her water for 3 days - cost me a fiver. Didn't have to take her in or anything...

    Guess it depends on your vet

    get a anti-biotic and add it to the water tank . should say dosage (ml/litres of water) on the bottle. not worth a vet . the tank should hold 3 days water but if not just split the dose over 3-5 days
