My beautiful birds are five weeks old. I've noticed that both the keets and sometimes the chicks will do this almost yawn and sometimes stretch the neck. The video isn't very good, but shows one of the keets doing it multiple times. During the day if the weather isn't awful, the birds are spending several hours outside in a pop-up canopy with mesh sides. The rest of the time they are inside in a 68" square pen with shavings and a mesh top. I hear sneezing pretty often both inside and outside, but don't see discharge. There are eleven birds, and some poops I see are runnier than others, but the canopy is on the ground, so I'm guessing at least some of that is from eating new stuff out there. Everyone is eating and drinking and active, as far as I can tell. They were not vaccinated at the hatchery and they have not been on medicated feed (none of the feed stores had medicated game bird starter). They're eating Purina Game Bird Starter crumbles. There is a fan blowing on us in the video, so sorry for the noise. Thank you for any advice.
