hi there,
so a few weeks ago my Heratage-x chickens started sneezing, (they're just random heritage breeds) they are about three monthes (give or take)they will sneeze especially after drinking or eating, they're other ways healthy and i'm not sure if this is an issue or if its nothing, a few of them have white stuff on they're legs, it comes off in water but just comes bake the next day or whenever
thanks,
Please Help Me
 
it sounds like they have picked up a respiratory infection. Have a look at some of the articles on that and see if you can narrow it down to what kind their symptoms most resemble. And meanwhile make sure they have good ventilation in the coop.

For the 'white stuff', some photos would help us identify the issue. Can you take some, as close and as clear as possible?
 
If they are only sneezing occasionally or during eating, it might be dust in the feed or other environmental problem. If the same chicken is sneezing every few minutes all day long, then their could be a respiratory virus called infectious bronchitis. That is something they get from a carrier. Did they come from a breeder, or did you get them from a hatchery or feed store as day old chicks? There are at least 5 or 6 common respiratory diseases seen in poultry with various symptoms. Here is a list of common diseases and symptoms:
