Sneezing chicks....

[Critternator]

I started out with one chick sneezing and slinging it's head in doing so. Now I have 3 chicks doing the same thing. All are 2-3 weeks old and came from breeders, electrolytes and probiotics in the water. Tylan 50 injectable administered orally in the first chick for 3 days twice a day and it's still sneezing. They all look fine and are eating and drinking normally. The chick I have been giving tylan 50 to had bloody stools but they are gone now. Any advice? I have 19 chicks total and 3 in quarantine in a separate brooder. I will also add there is no discharge coming from their nose.

Welcome to BYC!

Is there bedding dusty?How often do you clean there brooder?What was the Tylan dosage you gave them?

I change the pine shavings in the brooder once a week. It is somewhat dry in the room as the hygrometer reads around 35-40% but I'm uncertain how accurate that is. Tylan dose is .25-.30 cc 2x daily orally.
