The sneezing has upgraded into full blown respiratory issues unfortunately. One of the chickens sometimes breathes with her mouth open. Aside from that they are sneezing and scratching their noses a lot. No eye problems yet. Today I discovered white, milky poo. Whatever it is, my entire flock...

Whatever they have started in the brooder. I *think* it came from the brooder getting dirty while I was away over a weekend. The slightly older chick began sneezing, but had no other signs of illness. At the time the chicks had paper towels as bedding while I waited for pine shavings to get in...
