Help with sneezing and runny poop.

[backhandnik]

Hi this is my first flock and I've had issues with sneezing for the past 3 weeks. They are about 6 weeks old and not showing any other symptoms besides runny poo. My area is severely limited in avian vets and any suggestions would be appreciated. I feed them non medicated feed.

Hey, are there any other symptoms? What does your run and coop look like? What kind of bedding? Where are you located?

Photos of chicks, their runny poop, housing?
Thanks!

How often do you hear a sneeze? Any discharge from the nostrils, coughing, mucous, bubbles in the eyes?

Does the sneezing coincide with activity like drinking/eating or dust bathing?

What do you feed?

Hopefully with more info, we can give you some suggestions.

Hi, I'll try to get photos. No other symptoms no eye discharge. If I'm near them when they sneeze I can feel moisture coming from their sneezes. I use pine for bedding. Right now they mostly sneeze in their run which doesn't have any bedding. I feed them non medicated Purina. I hear the sneezing almost all the time. Doesn't coincide with feeding or dust bathing.

I feel like everyone looks good the sneezing and runny stool are the only things I've been noticing for weeks. Inside the brooder and now a week into their outdoor time

The poop looks like normal cecal poop.

If they have no other symptoms with the sneezing, then I'd observe. If you see mucous, lethargy, swollen eyes or facial tissue, then it's time to treat.
