A few weeks ago I got a chip drop and put those wood chips in our chicken run floor. They were very absorbent and I noticed my chickens sneezing more often. I went out to change it today and noticed one of my chickens having a sneezing episode so I picked her up and saw a few bubbles in her eye and I'm not sure if it was how my daughter was holding her or what but she had a bit of a gurgle/Purr when she was breathing. I've moved the two that were sneezing the most to the garage to isolate them, put vetrx in their water. I've not heard a single sneeze since moving them to the garage and all her eye bubbles are gone now. We have a few avian vets nearby I can take them to tomorrow but I'm wondering if I should just watch them or take them in just to be extra cautious. I did smell ammonia when cleaning it out so I think it was definitely irritating them, they've been open mouth breathing a lot but it's been 90°+ so I figured it was the heat.
