This is not specifically a cochin question....however we have mostly cochins....LOL I posted this last night in the emergencies, illnesses section and the more I thought about it realized that unless someone has a need, it is probably not a highly visited section. So I am asking all of you....On occasion our older chicks ( almost 3 months old) will sneeze, which I have read is normal. This sneezing has been sporadic and not accompanied by any other symptoms. On the other hand, we have younger chicks (4 1/2 weeks old) in the last day or so, I have noticed them sneezing more often. On a positive not, it does not appear ( at this point anyway) to be accompanied by any other symptoms. I have read that chickens cannot really get colds that it is variations of a few respiratory diseases. Can chicks be bothered by high pollen? It has been pretty awful where we live. They are in an extra large tub at night time and a large brooder box or outside in an extra large wire dog crate in the day time. Their brooder box is on our enclosed porch, so it is cleaned often. Any thoughts....I would greatly appreciate any advice or suggestions.....thank you, Andrea
