I just skimmed all of the threads that seemed like they might apply to this, but in most, the question seemed to come down to a sensitivity to the bedding, and mine are just on layers of paper towels, changed twice daily. I have four chicks, all a week old, and only one easter egger is sneezing, several times a minute. There's no discharge from the eyes. I can feel a slight watery moisture when she sneezes on me, but there's no visible discharge and nothing around her nares. She's not acting sick (in fact, she's kind of aggressive, definitely the boldest of the four), she's eating, drinking, and growing normally. She's developing feathers faster than the others, if that matters. Her droppings appear normal. I first noticed the sneezing about two days ago, just occasionally, but it's gotten a lot more frequent since yesterday. They're on medicated chick crumbles, haven't given them grit or any treats yet. Any ideas?
