Week and a half old poults have started sneezing?

[jjensen06]

Hi there. I have 10 poults, week and a half old. They are on 26% turkey starter (couldn't get any higher in town) and I have a Super booster in their water. Today I have noticed they are sneezing? I don't see a runny nose or puffy eyes.. I clean their area out once a day (I use wood chips), including water and good containers... They are all eating and drinking well. Suggestions? Hate to see my babies getting sick..

It could be the dust from the wood chips. I start all my poults on a wire flood until they are about 6-8 weeks, Sounds like your doing things right. How is the temp in your brooder? Is it drafty? Watch for any discharge from the mouth or nose.

The temp is about 90 degrees. I just go by how they are acting in the brooder, they all seem very content. Not acting sick at all, no discharge from mouth or nose.. They are all very active, eating and drinking well.. just the sneezing.

I agree about it perhaps being the wood chips. I'm not a fan of chips at all. I use old towels or paper towels.

What kind of wood chips?
