Sick chicks?

[Maggieisabelle]

So my new chicks are sneezing and one is shaking her head. The sneeze is like a small huff through their nose. They are eating and drinking and they are very active. When you look at them they seem perfectly fine. I am a worry wort so this has been nagging at me.

How often are they sneezing?
What type of bedding are you using/where is your brooder located?

Sometimes chicks will snick when they have something in their nostrils. Chicks shed a lot of fuzz too. IF the sneezing is on occasion and they have no discharge or any other accompanying symptoms, then just keep an eye and ear on them. Make sure they have plenty of ventilation and are eating/drinking/active.

Any signs of lethargy, going off feed or other symptoms then start to investigate further.

I use pine bedding and they are sneezing a lot less today. They are inside my house and they are running around, eating, and drinking. There is no discharge and they have clean food and water.
