If you can upload a video to a site such as YouTube and post a link here we can see it. Do you see any bubbles in eyes, mucus from the beak or nostrils, sneeze, crackly breathing, or head shaking?

Upload to the BYC Gallery or Youtube.

If you can get a video that would be great! Upload to the BYC Gallery.

No bubbles or mucus, but they are sneezing, breathing crackly and shaking their heads.

Upload to the BYC Gallery or Youtube.

I did upload it to the gallery, I just don't know how to transfer it to the post.

Have you added any new birds to your flock in the last few weeks, or been near someone else’s chickens?

I have added a two chicks, one like a month ago and the other one like three weeks ago, but they're the only two that don't have it and they are in a see but no touch situation, not the coop.

In the gallery I think I tagged you two, but I honestly have no idea how that stuff works
And it's of my silkie sneezing, because everyone stopped coughing as soon as I try to take a video.
I must have taken more than 50 trying to get one of them to cough...

If they sneeze often, they might have a virus, infectious bronchitis. How old are the new chicks? They could possibly have brought it with them if they are carriers. Wild birds can sometimes carry it in. If they develop bubbles or foam in one eye, swelling of the eyelid or face, that could be mycoplasma (MG.) Infectious bronchitis lasts 3-4 weeks and most birds get it over a few weeks. If it is MG, Tylosin in their water can treat symptoms 1 tsp per gallon for 5 days. Here is one of several places to get it online:

It's a sneeze. She's doing it after preening. Do you notice any activity they are doing and then they sneeze?
Eating, drinking, dust bathing, etc.?

Hopefully this will resolve on its own, but you can certainly try an antibiotic to see if that makes a difference.
