Sneezing Week Old Chicks!

[lena_]

Okay, my constant posting on here may be annoying, and if it is, i'm sorry. Yesterday night I saw my chick sneeze, and when I put my ear to him/her I hear a faint popping noise. When the baby sneezed a little bit of water came out of it's beak/nostril and it didn't smell at all. But the thing is, pretty much every duckling or chick I have ever raised has done this and been fine. I can't afford to loose my babies...

Hey, asking questions is how we all learn! So I'll ask you some more. Lol
How old? What are you feeding? What's its bedding like?

Thanks for quick response!
-They are both about a week old
-I'm feeding medicated chick starter
Okay this is pretty long
I live in the middle of nowhere, and aren't connected to the powerlines, thus making running a lamp 24/7 impossible. So I use a hot water bottle wrapped in a cloth, and I've raised plenty of animals this way(Ducklings,chicks,button quail) They are in a small plastic tub with the hot water bottle taking up half, and then food and water on one end.
I use newspaper to line the bottom of it, and then the covered hot water bottle. I'm really worried, however Mom says it's probbably just a bit of water in their beaks.

My little white baby Porg sneezed again a couple of minutes ago. No discharge, just a little 'ahchoo' they both have poppy breathing, I'm pretty worried...

They probably have a cold. A little vitamins could probably help.

A sneeze now and then isn’t cause for concern but if it becomes quiet common you may be dealing with a respiratory issue.

The partridge chick(Friz) sneezed twice in a row, and then later sneezed once. Now I heard my other baby, Porg sneeze. GAhhh, how do you diagnose and treat a respiratory issue? I have no vets nearby that see chickens, and I'm very scared for my little ones...

Do you happen to hatch chicks from your own flock?

No, I purchased them from a a breeder. I had to drive three hours there and then three hours back for these babies.

The breeder may have a respiratory disease in their flock and the stress of the move has brought out the symptoms. If the birds start to develop nasal discharge or bubbles in the eyes you should start them on Tylan 50. @azygous can help you.
My flock has a respiratory disease (MG or ILT) and you wouldn’t be able to tell just from looking at them. They are very active, alert, & most importantly healthy and happy.
