Sneezing Silkie

I have a 2 year old Silkie hen that has been sneezing for about 2 weeks now. I saw her with a little bit of bubbles in the corner of her eye maybe 3 times and it was usually after she sneezed. I’ve been doing vet rx, but she’s still sneezing. She’s completely normal other than sneezing, she eats, drinks, and is still laying eggs. She doesn’t have any swollen sinuses. I separated her from the rest of the flock as soon as I heard a sneeze. She’s the only one out of 15 sneezing. I read a lot about MG, could this be it? Or something else?

another topic while I’m here... my 2 week old chicks are also sneezing... nothing else wrong with them, just sneezing. As are my week old turkey poults. Only 2 of them are sneezing out of 8. What could be the issue? They are in my house with puppy pads as bedding

Welcome To BYC

Some common causes of just sneezing are respiratory disease, dust, poor ventilation, ammonia from droppings and molds.

If she's normal other than sneezing, then I would keep watch on her for a few days. Check out her nostrils for blockage, look inside her beak for lesions and see if she's sneezing from getting food/water in her nostrils.

As for the chicks - same protocol - ventilation, anything moldy, etc.

Here's some info on poultry diseases:
