Hi Booty
I was about to post the same thing. My new chick meggy is making funny noises, also sounds like sneezing.
I've only had my 3 for a week, so i'm wondering if poultry spice or something similar may help.

Hope someone can help us :-)
 
Two of ours are sneezing. We had this early last year and it stopped. It's been very dry here and so dusty and I wondered if chickens get hayfever?
 
Well to be honest thats what i was thinking lol is it hayfever ? Only had our chickens bout a month still novices :-)

Sneezing is more likely to be due to an upper respiratory problem or infection. Keep a close eye on them, sometimes stress from moving to a new home for example can bring out symptoms such as sneezing, wheezing or rattling chests due to an underlying infection.

This time of year, when warm and dry can cause dusty conditions, these may cause sneezing so check bedding and ventilation is adequate.

I also use a dust extracted product as bedding such as easibed or Rapport, and am careful to check on how much dust is in the sheds, it is surprising how quickly dust can build up!

Here is some useful information on respiratory problems..

I had a sneezy bird,and after some detective work i found it was when i started using straw.So i soon changed back to my wood shavings and the bird stopped sneezing.
