Snickers

[lbacon]

I recently purchased 28 peeps, and two of them have started sneezing. I have heard this is called snickers, I am trying to raise my peeps organic and would like to not use any antibiotics. Any suggestions?

Edited to ad link for mixing your own organic feed. Sorry I can't help with an organic antibiotic for your needs now.

Just a thought but is their brooder dusty? Those little guys can cause a lot of dust in a short period of time. If it is (this is what I do....) move everything and everyone to one side and spray a fine mist of water on the litter and paper. Wait a minute and roll up slowly. Replace paper and litter and repeat on other side.
