I have five broiler chicks and they are eleven days old. I have been raising them in a 10x10 pen outside, with a heat lamp in one corner. Before I used it for the chicks, it just sat there open so my other chickens have gone in and out as they please. The reason I mention this is to say that the...
Hello!
My 4 week old chicks have started sneezing, a bunch. Particularly one of them. The liquid from the sneezing is cold and clear, it also covers their beaks sometimes. They're acting normal otherwise, drinking and eating as usual.
Should I worry or give them anything to help?
Hi everyone,
Im hoping you can help me with your expertise. I recently purchased 4 chicks (2 day old BCM and 2 salmon faverolle, one day old and one week old) from a very reputable local breeder. I brought the chicks home, added them to the brooder with some other chicks that I had received...
I have 10 chicks. Half are 2 weeks old the other have 3 weeks old. Last week one of the 2 week olds started sneezing which made me concerned. I reached out to where she came from and they suggested VetRX. I held off because it kinda stopped. Then i noticed another one sneezing. Now tonight a...
One of my quarantined sickies keeps sneezing, and a few of the healthy chicks are occasionally sneezing as well.
One in particular is sneezing a whole lot, nearly every 30 seconds or less, and I'm worried she's not able to breathe properly. I've given her VetRX but that is all I have available...
Hi,
I am easing chicks for the first time (well we tried when I was about 8years old and a weasel got them so I’m determined to do everything right) my babies are 2 week old chicks and have gotten rambunctious. I moved them to my basement so I could upgrade their brooder space. I noticed after I...
Hello,
I have 6 cookoo Marans that are 1 week old. I purchased them at my local tractor supply. I noticed a few minutes ago that at least 2 of them are sneezing a lot. I pulled one of them out and her breathing is noisy and congested.
They are in a cage that has newspaper on the bottom that is...
I have 2 five week old chicks that have been sneezing for about a month. They sneeze every few seconds no matter where they are or what they're doing. No eye issues or anything. They seem lively and totally normal apart from the sneezing.
Any ideas or advice would be most appreciated! Thank you :)

Hi I am new to this site and to chickens. I have done a couple years of research and prep and finally convinced my husband we should get chickies. I have 8 currently. I think they are doing good but I think I am just anxious for things to go well. I have one that keeps sneezing but no other...
This is my third post about my chicks sneezing. It never seems to end. My chicks started sneezing at about 1 week old, and ever since they haven't stopped. For the first 3 weeks I used very dusty pine shavings, but got rid of them and replaced them with larger shavings as soon as the other stuff...
Hi everyone! I’m new to raising chickens and don’t have many people around to ask questions about their health. I’m only 16 and my mom won’t let me bring them to a vet. My chicks has been sneezing (two of them more than others) and I’ve caught two of them scratching their beaks. I tried to check...
Hi my 5 week old chick started sneezing, her nose makes a noise and seems to open her beak often in the last day. She is active, eating and drinking. The other chick doesn’t have any symptoms. They have been shortly visiting the yard the last two weeks and have eaten worms. I clean their water...
My 4/5 week cochin has been sneezing on a regular basis and sometimes breathing with his mouth open. He has no discharge but sneezes with mucus, or some sort of liquid. I am quite worried as it might be a sign of respiratory infection. Any advice?
Hi! I have twenty, eight week old chicks. A super cute mix of EEs, Ameraucanas, White Polish and Silkies. So this is my first experience with chicks so bare with me. They are still in our garage in their water troft brooder. We had planned to move them into their enclosed coop and run about two...
Hi all,
I’m new to owning chickens and i have flock of ten (10) five week old (5) pullets. Recently i noticed a chick in the back of the brooder opening her beak to breathe, breathing very heavy, sneezing (no nasal discharge, or discharge from the eyes, or discharge coming from anywhere). I...
Please help me understand what happened. I am concerned for my two remaining chicks.
I had two 2 week old Mille Fluer chicks I hatched myself. Both were appropriate weight, feathering nicely, ate, and drank frequently but dead chick had curled toe (unsure if related). Both had symptoms of...
Got a half a dozen chicks for Valentine’s Day. One is half the size of the others, and is separated to avoid being trampled. The other five are active and seemingly healthy. They’ve grown and partially feathered out. However, the five are dry sneezing every Once in a while. Normally it’s after...
I have a new group of babies that hatched on February 3rd. 10 total. Everyone seems to do wonderfully except 1.
I have a little buff orpington that is opening and closing her beak often, stretching her neck out, and shaking her head. I have noticing a little bit of clear discharge when she...
