Concrete floor pretty much says it all. It's likely they've been trying to scratch through the bedding, as is just instinct for them, and they are kicking up a lot of dust. I'd not worry about a little sneezing....it should resolve itself as soon as the respiratory irritant is out of the picture. In other words, let their bedding get moisture in it so it's not so dusty...you can try wetting down the old bedding before adding new and dry stuff on top. That may help or just letting the bedding get more soiled and retain more moisture before adding new bedding.
This is where a deep litter system comes in real handy.
@Beekissed, I can't find a post my sometimes faulty brain attributes to you. I thought you decided which birds to cull in the fall either by how late in the prior spring they started to lay, or maybe when they stopped laying in the previous fall. It was some way you anticipated the length of their next laying season.
Hey, Miss Bee...does poor MesMama remind you of anyone a couple of years ago? Oh, I remember being so stressed and such a worry wort! Maybe that's why I kinda have a soft spot for her and her woes......I recognize most of them!
Um, gosh, no offense intended, MesMama.....I had just as hard a time letting go as you are. Bee and several others had to rein me in a bit too.![]()

Aw.. Well try to have some faith. You're doing fine. Remember, if theyre not happy, you'll know. They'll scream their heads off. And instead of focusing on what can go wrong, picture it going right.Oh you know, it's totally to make myself feel betterAnd I don't want to lose any more, especially since several of these chicks are my mom's including 2 SLW, the only ones we could get, she wanted 4. So I'm super nervous I'll lose those and she'll have to wait til next year or try to get more somewhere else.![]()
