I have two chicks out of 5 that seem to sneeze a lot. They are two weeks old and both ee crosses. When they sneeze a bit of liquid flys out, not much but you can see it. They act normal except the sneezes. They are in a 55 gallon aquarium in my bedroom. Would the dust cause them to sneeze like this? (Pine shavings) When they were a few days old my brother snuggled them for an hour, he had a cold. Could they get a cold? Or is it something else? Pneumonia?
Any ideas on how to treat them?
Thankyou
 
Unless there was bubbles in their eyes or lethargy I wouldnt worry too much. Chicks are extremely dusty themselves. They wont catch a human cold.
 
It's impossible for a human to give an animal their regular, old cold. Just wait a few more days and watch them—other then that I think they're fine! If they look like they're getting weak or have a loss of energy in the next few days, give them some sugar water off of a spoon.
