I Just Found This Funny - Welsummer chicks

Awwwwww they are so ah-dorable!!!

Super cute!

How often are they sneezing?
I know mine sneezed as chicks. I think they are fine so long as it is not one sneeze after another all day long.

I hear one sneeze every few hours, especially after they've had a dig about or a drink

It sounds like they are just clearing their little noses.

Okay, thank you! I was starting to worry a little

They could have the bird flu (Avian Flu), but they most likely don't. It depends how bad the sneezing gets.

Like 21-hens in charge said, their probably just clearing their noses.

I haven't seen anything that would indicate AI, unless it's a silent killer? they're really active and I'm super impressed with their growth. I will look out for lethargy and runny noses and the like. Thank you

Sneezing is normal for chicks.
I wouldn't think twice about it.

Thanks, I nearly started searching every possible thing that could be wrong with them, silly me

I didn't think it was! But Be looking out for those symptoms just in case.

If they are just sneezing once every few hours, it is very low likely to be AI.... I think their just clearing their noses.

Always on the lookout for CRDs, can never be too careful! Is there any preventative help I can give them to avoid CRDs? I'm in England if that helps?
