Chick Sneezing?

[Tori14]

I noticed that one of our bantam chicks is sneezing. She sneezes once maybe every 1-2 minutes. Is this something to be concerned about? We have to take one of the other chicks to the vet Friday, so should I take this one to the vet as well?

It might be dust in the feed or coop/brooder shavings. Has she been exposed to outside or other chickens? Infectious bronchitis is something that can cause sneezing if she has been around older chickens or wild birds. It is pretty serious in young chicks, but not as serious in older chickens. It is a virus. I would check the ventilation, and make sure that it is good. Are any of the others sneezing?

The chicks were outside when we got them (they were free ranged outside at the barn where we board our horse) so there is other birds there, along with a very dusty indoor arena. We have had them for 2 days now, and they are in a plastic tub that has shavings in it. They are in our house with a heat lamp (keeping the heat around 85 degrees) since it is too cold for them to be outside (60-65 degrees). None of the other chicks are sneezing or coughing.
