Started pullet that I ordered from McMurray is now sneezing!

So I'm a little worried as a new chicken owner. I have 2 55 flowery hens that my friend raised as chicks and are doing great and laying, so naturally I wanted more chickens! Not being set up well to raise chicks indoors, I ordered 3 started pullets from McMurray hatchery that range from 15 weeks-25 weeks (they won't give you an exact age). I have one Light Brahma, 1 cuckoo marans, and 1 black star. I have had them in a separate makeshift coop quarantined now for 3 weeks. They have been doing great and I have slowly been working on socializing them to me!

Just today I had them out free ranging with my original 2 55 Flowery hens and noticed the light brahma, whom I've named Puff, sneezing as she was eating up some meal worms. I kept an eye on her over the next 20 minutes or so and she continued to have small sneezes every now and them. I am now VERY concerned that I put my other chickens at risk by letting them free range together today!

Any thought on why she would be sneezing? Can it take 3 weeks for an illness to appear?? Any thoughts/suggestions are welcome!

So far her stools have been great, good appetite and drinking well. Possibility of a little clear discharge from one nostril, but not 100% sure if it was discharge or not. Other pullets are acting normal.

I would recommend getting Vetrx. It works all kinds of magic. It's around $8 at tractor supply. If you follow the instructions properly, your hen will be healthy before you know it
