one sneezing Silkie Chick

[quinnith]

Hello,

I have hatched 5 Black Silkies in my incubator and one of them has been sneezing and wheezing for 2 weeks, they are all 2 1/2 weeks old but he was the last one to hatch.

He is absolutely fine in himself eating lots, running around no different behavior to the others. There is no discharge around his nostrils. And none of the other chicks wheeze or sneeze.

They are on Newspaper inside as its winter here in New Zealand.

Any info would be very much appreciated.

I would make sure there was no wet litter where mold could be a problem. Dust and ammonia odors can also cause respiratory problems.
