I got these little babies a couple days a go and they keep sneezing I lost one last night I'm guessing they are around 6 weeks old maybe 8 I was not told when I got them if I'm wrong kindly correct me but can I do for their sneezing I noticed little sneezing at first when we got them but it's now very noticeable
And I will be getting them more feed and water

Those are maybe 6-8 days old. Definitely not six weeks old. They'll need clean water they can submerge their bills in to clear their noses. If the water isn't deep enough, their nasal passages can get plugged up. That might cause sneezing.

Okay yeah I never had young geese before so would a cup or a bowl work better for water for them

For sure. I'd also look into getting them a bigger brooder ASAP. It's already pretty cramped for them and waterfowl grow fast.

Yes, they need to be able to submerge the entire bill and they'll want to submerge their head to clean their eyes too. So it will need to be deep enough for that. And yes, they're going outgrow that brooder in a matter of days.
