Chick sneezing

[ashley6391]

Hi! I have 6 pullets that are about 5 weeks old and one I recently noticed is sneezing every so often, I don't see any discharge or any other signs of sickness.. I have separated her from the others.. These are my first chickens and not sure what else to do.. TIA

Are they still in a brooder?

You've probably discovered the problem. Six 5 week old large fowl chickens need about 15 square feet of space. Six bantams would need about 9 sq. ft.. Crowded conditions are hard to keep clean, reduce the flow of fresh air and increase stress. All contribute to disease.
Unless it's extremely cold where you are, they're ready for the coop now.
