I have one little d'uccle hen who is 2 years old. She has always been a sneezer. I don't think my 9 other chickens ever sneezed, but she has always sneezed a couple times a week. It is very cute. She makes a 'squeak', shakes her head, her body gives a little shake and then off she...
Hello all, Ok noob question, what does a chicken sneeze sound like?, One of mine BR girls tonight was letting out this high pitched squeak, at the same time she kind of shook her head, her nostrils looked dry and clean, crop was hard but not huge , shiny eyes...And one of my EE girls has...

From what I have read it's just a pullets system getting kicked in, like a short egg making cycle, there bodies are maturing and for some reason they throw out the rubber ones once in a while, it's supposed to stop I think as they get older.
I have been getting a pullet egg every other day, and found a rubber one the other night, one of my RIR's is laying them I have seen her..
Can't wait for the other gals to kick it into gear. Every time I buy eggs at the market now I complain..LOL

She came home today YEAH!!!!
