Sick chick

[ChickieLisa]

I have an easter egger chick that is about 5 weeks old that seems to be sneezing and is breathing a little weirdly

She doesn't seem to have a bad odor or anything though. Is this something I should be concerned about? If it is, is there a treatment or something for it?

It sounds like she may have a respiratory infection. Tetracycline is what I would recommend for treatment. It can be mixed in water for the birds to drink. We use the powdered kind, 1/10 tsp per 2 gallons of water for 7 days. It is only good for 24 hours once mixed, so you will have to remix some every day. Also, the water container will have to be kept in the shade. I hope this helps. Feel free to P.M. me if you ever need anything or have any other poultry questions. I hope your little chick ends up being fine. Good luck.
