Chick sneezing or puffing?

[Rocknominoe2]

I have a 3 week old chick that my kids are complaining “sneezes a lot”

They’re on dried hemp bedding. We’re pretty sure it’s a rooster as it has a comb and wattles already. It’s not lethargic, very active, eats plenty, and even bullies the other chicks. It has no drainage or discharge from eyes or nostrils.

I’ve only seen it do it 2-3 times but my kids say it happens often. Has for the past week.

What could it be? The rest of its friends are also acting fine.

Do you have a video of the sneezing?
Upload to the BYC Gallery or Youtube.

With no discharge from the nostrils, eyes, etc and eating/drinking active, perhaps he's getting a little dust or food in the nostrils. It doesn't sound like respiratory illness.

Is there an activity going on when the kids notice the sneezing the most like he's been eating/drinking, picking at a treat, dust bathing, etc.?
