My day old chick has been sneezing, not constantly but enough to worry me, she has also been making a clicking noise off and on, usually after she sneezes. There is no mucus that I see
 
WEll nobody helped me, so I just made sure the chick was eating and drinking but it died, so I wish someone could have helped me
 
Sorry for your loss. A clicking sound when breathing can be a sign of severe respiratory trouble. A chick of mine did that at 2 weeks old, and was found to have a leaking air sac under the skin along the whole right side of her chest. I inserted a 22 gauge needle under the skin and pushed out all of the air. It came back, but eventually she recovered. It sounds like your chick may have not been able to have been saved. Did you hatch the chick yourself?
 
Yes, it was my second hatch, it pipped at the wrong end, but needed no help
Thank you
