    Chicks Sneezing! Help!

    Hi everyone, I have a question I have noticed a few chickens sneezing they are 5 weeks old today. I looked at each chick and I do not see any discharge from their nostrils or their eyes. Everyone is eating and foraging fine. They are almost completely feathered. Any ideas? Michelle in WV
