2 week old chick sneezing

If you’ve got a 2-week-old chick who’s been sneezing like she’s auditioning for a poultry version of a sneeze competition, you’re not alone! Sneezing in chicks can be fairly common, especially if they’re exposed to dust or allergens—like when you switched her bedding from pine shavings to pellets. It sounds like your little feathered friend is otherwise healthy, since she’s eating, drinking, and her eyes and nostrils look normal. While it’s frustrating that the vet didn’t witness her sneezes, it’s good they checked her vitals and found nothing alarming. Keep an eye on her, and if the sneezing persists or worsens, don’t hesitate to seek further advice. Welcome to the whimsical world of chick ownership—where every sneeze can spark both concern and curiosity!
