Sneezy Chiick - 2 weeks old and pine shavings

[OMD]

Everyone else is fine (three other girls) but one girl is sneezing once in a while and I am wondering if it could be the dust from the pine shavings?

It could be, mine are doing fine on pine. You could try putting paper towels down over the pine shavings for a couple of days to see if the sneezing stops. If she gets better then could be the pine. I would just keep an eye on her make sure she is eating, drinking, running around, and taking naps.

Make sure the temp is ok in there brooder, 95 degrees week one and then drop it 5 degrees every week.

Find a feed store that sells Rice hulls,waay less debrie.Plus it can go in the garden for mulch.

I had one girl that sneezed whenever I changed the pine shavings when she was a chick.

We have a chick doing that now with pine shavings. Not very often, just a little sneeze once and a while, so we're not too worried about it.
