    Week old baby chicks sneezing and shaking heads... No other symptoms ????

    Hi all! Question... My chicks are now about 1.5 weeks old and they just started sneezing. They have been shaking their heads a little bit, almost like they are wet (but they are not) or their ears are bothering them for almost the whole time I've owned them. Also their stools look pretty healthy...

    That is quite a flock you're building! I am excited to see how they turn out, as well! I'm sorry about your silkies being stolen and about the BEAR!

    Thanks for all the great info! I will have 7 chicks arrive at any time today. I ordered them from mypetchicken.com.

    I am wondering the same thing! Never thought to ask though- was just going to try it and see how it goes. Let me know if you find anything out! I won't be trying until my chicks are old enough to go outside (they haven't hatched yet lol).
