Chicken sneezes are cute little squeaks that usually mean simply that they have managed to inhale a bit of dust from their crumbles in an overeager assault on the feed tray.

However, if the sneezing persists, you need to look closely for signs of CRD. That would include, besides persistent sneezing, a discharge from the nares, runny, bubbly eyes, and lethargy.

These symptoms indicate your flock may have contracted one of several respiratory viruses, collectively called Chronic Respiratory Disease or CRD. There is no cure for the viruses, but there are antibiotics to target the various secondary infections.
