3 week old broilers sneezing

[kristen_k]

Hi,
I got 50 cornish x's about 3 weeks ago, when I feed them I watch them for about 10 mins or so to make sure everyone is ok. I noticed yesterday they were sneezing. There is no discharge from their nostrils. I have them on pine shavings and I put a new layer on each week. Should I be concerned?

Thanks to everyone with answers!!!

My chicks are about the same age as yours. I noticed since I added the shavings a couple of them have started sneezing especially when they scratch the dust up. I have read that some chickens are sensitive to the dust from the bedding. But don't take my word for it... my family and I just stared our flock, so I am a newbie.

It will be interesting to see what others say.

I am new at this too! I have had them on pine shavings since they were 3 days old and most of them just started sneezing.
