My almost 3 week old light brahmas that we’ve had for almost a week seem to be developing a respiratory issue. I can here a congested noise coming from three of the six. I’ve tried to look up what to do and got very overwhelmed by all of the information. I would be very appreciative on any advice and what to do for them. Thank you!
 
Welcome To BYC

Can you post some photos of the chicks and their brooder?
What type of bedding are you using?
Where did the chicks come from?

Do you see mucous from the nostrils, watery eyes, etc?

I would first look at the brooder, make sure it's dry, no wet/moldy areas and that the chicks have good ventilation.
