Advice on sneezing chicks

[Anhal]

I just noticed that my 5 week old chicks are beginning to sneeze. They are on non-medicated chick feed, grass and clover, and bird seed as a treat. I was cracking sun flower seeds for them from the treat container, but have stopped. Any suggestions? Should I be concerned?

Are you giving them chick grit so that they can digest all of the greens and seeds? Not sure about the sneezing...what kind of bedding are they on?

What are you using as bedding? If it is extra dusty it could be irritating them and they could be trying to expell the dust. I've had that happen when I bought a different type of wood shavings once and they weren't the best quality. Good luck!
