I just got the young chickens last week. They have been sneezing and are making rattle/wet sound when they breathe. I have been putting acv in their water. I have also been giving them vet rx and rubbing it on their beaks/nostrils and head. Also putting it under their wings. What do you do when your chickens have respiratory problems?
 
Is it possible to get a video of their breathing? Do they have any other symptoms (weird poo, runny noses, lethargy, eyes, etc)? It could help narrow down the problem. Apple cider vinegar isn't actually that helpful in this situation. I would switch it over to electrolytes. What is their brooder set up like? Is it damp, and what bedding do you use?
