Had my chicks in the coop for the first time today - sneezing?

Hi everybody. I put my chickens out in their coop to explore for a bit today. They are 5 weeks old. I noticed that when they were in there a few of them sneezing a couple of times. Is this normal & is there anything I should be worried about?

 

Thanks :)

Sneezing is pretty normal in chicks. It can happen if it's a bit dusty in the coop, or if some water has 'gone up the wrong way'. I wouldn't be worried unless you start noticing anything indicating they might be unhealthy.
