sick baby chicks

my 4 week old baby chicks got a draft in the brooder and now some are sneezing what can i use for this

I've heard that chopping up a garlic clove and putting it in their water is good for chicken colds, garlic having antibiotic properties. I haven't had cause to try this though.

I have had cause to try this after a brooder bulb burned out overnight. Crushed garlic in the water perked them up quite quickly.

something else you can do..after you've done the garlic, you can put a little bit of Cranberry juice in the water. It's very high in Vit C and that will help them as well..that's if you don't want to use meds of course (that's just what i do).
