Please, please advise!!!
I noticed a few days ago that some of my month old chicks have started sneezing. Today, one of my Ameraucanas has been begging me whenever I'm around to be held... she peeps and flies up to perch on my shoulder and arms, and tries to get under my hair or my hand looking for what I can only assume is warmth. (She has always enjoyed perching on me, but this behavior is so odd that I'm worried something is seriously wrong.)
Even more worrisome is that her breathing seems shallower to me and her heart beat weaker than the other chicks.... I don't know if I'm being a hypochondriac or what, I'm just so anxious that she'll be dead by tomorrow morning!
