It's normal. Either they are cleaning their beaks, or I see my roos do it, but don't understand what it means yet

 

[bantieboy]

what about sneezing

 

[Renee]

How much sneezing? Is there a discharge from their beaks? How long have they been sneezing, and are all of your chickens sneezing?

Have you introduced any new chickens into your flock?

What are you feeding them, and what kind of bedding or nesting material are you using?

How old are these chickens?

 

[seminolewind]

I guess normal, I'm sure they get stuff in their nose. I have one who sneezes alot when she gets excited, like treat time.

 

[bantieboy]

they are eating dumor chick starter, they are about 5 -6 weeks old, umm pine chips from tsc and i just got 32 rir peeps on thursday from mount healthy hatcheries.

Any discharge from their beaks at all?

 

[bantieboy]

havent noticed any

 

[seminolewind]

Sneezing in itself is probably nothing to worry about. Sneezing with other symptoms like runny nose or eyes would be more to worry about.
Do they all do it? How often?

 

[bantieboy]

not all of them are yet they dont do it repeatedly but they do it every once in awhile
