Sneezing, shaking head, and wiping beak/nose

[nwgirl]

I noticed last night my 6 week old chick sneezed 5 times within a 15 minute period (very wet sneezes too). Tonight she is sneezing, wiping her nose/beak on my shirt (thank you very much), shaking and scratching at her head. She is eating, eyes looks good, nose looks good, maybe a slight runny nose, but that's after she sneezes many times in a row. None of the other birds are sneezing. Geez, with my luck she's allergic to me.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

what bedding are you using?
any exposure to dusts or ammonia fumes?

anything stuck in the nostrils?

Pine shavings for bedding. Nostrils look fine. She laid down for me and got all mellow while I checked for mites. I hear they are almost impossible to spot, but I looked anyways. She liked it. I looked at her ears, but I didn't see anything unusual. I also made an attempt to look into her mouth but that's not going to happen with someone else to hold her.

Tomorrow I am going to get some acv and vitamins and start the whole flock on that.

I my case it was a duckling doing that while using pine shavings.
He was the only one ,so after calls to feed store got Rice hulls (in place of pine) and a few days of antibiotic it cleared up.I think he had a lil cold or something from shavings,plus rice hulls can be used after in the garden.
