Hi , I hear my little chick making a noise which sounds like sneezing , she is still lively and active and she is eating her food and water properly.

Do I need to get her antibiotics ?

Doesn't sound like she needs medication if she's active/eating/drinking.

Dust from shedding, feed, bedding, etc. can cause a bit of a snick or sneeze every once in a while. Ensure your chicks have plenty of ventilation.

the whole of the top is open , plenty of air coming in a out , like you say she probs does have dust because she digs alot of holes in the brooder , still eating and drinking so i will just keep an eye on her :) , quick question what if i did buy some antibiotics and gave it to my chicks even tho they may or may not have sneezes , would it do anything to them ??

I would not treat with antibiotics unless you are certain they have an infection.
