Well my 3 week olds have the sneezes, I haven't sorted out which out of the 25 have sneezes yet, but quite a few were and they're wet too.
Here is the sick bird fill out form-
1) What type of bird , age and weight-multiple breeds, 3 wks, I don't know the weight yet
2) What is the behavior, exactly.-sneezes, a little wet not drippy though
3) Is there any bleeding, injury, broken bones or other sign of trauma. No
4) What happened, if anything that you know of, that may have caused the situation. Maybe the shavings (see below)
5) What has the bird been eating and drinking, if at all. chick starter and water *edited to add- has been outdoors a time or two (but in warm weather 85-90) so most likely got some bugs
6) How does the poop look? Normal? Bloody? Runny? etc. normal, with occasional cecal poop
7) What has been the treatment you have administered so far? None, I don't have a chicken vet
8 ) What is your intent as far as treatment? For example, do you want to treat completely yourself, or do you need help in stabilizing the bird til you can get to a vet? Probably treat myself with antibiotics, as long as it seems to go well.
9) If you have a picture of the wound or condition, please post it. It may help.
10) Describe the housing/bedding in use Pine from a bag, I thought it was pretty dusty
Their sneezes aren't bad but I know how fragile birds are, I'm getting something for them right away.
