We have 13 2 week old Cornish cross chicks from Tractor Supply. This is our first time with chicks of any kind. I do not know what is typical behavior for these types of birds. They do make this little noise which sounds like little bitty sneezes which I feel like it's definitely not a good sign. I'm not sure if it is normal to be able to see them breathing either. They seem to breathe with their whole bodies. Also they will stretch their legs out in a very odd manner. All of them are eating and drinking and moving around well. Some of them do look like they have larger round growth type areas on their bottom part. I wanted to attach a video of them breathing but I see videos aren't an option.
I have no point of reference to know what is normal or not. They are causing me great concern.
