chick is nonstop sneezing

[Gtbt1231]

I noticed about 20 minutes ago that my 5 day old silkie chick has been nonstop sneezing. I’m assuming that she just inhaled some dust from the feed, but this chick is much less energetic than the others and more timid. Possibility that she is sick?

Hi,

What is the bedding you're using and what feed are they getting?

A chick may sneeze, but usually that's just once or twice.

If that chick is constantly sneezing, it's probably worn out and might be why it's less energetic. It really shouldn't be sick this early in its life.

Welcome To BYC

Can you get a video of the chick and her actions? Upload video to youtube and provide a link.

Check the chick's nostrils to see if they have any dust that needs to cleared and inside the beak to make sure there's no feed built up inside.

Photos of the brooder setup may be helpful as well.
