Adult hen peeping...?

[Trevorusn]

So one of my SF hens makes a loud quick peep sound somewhat often, it is very cute but odd, as I never heard adult birds make such a sound before. It sounds almost like a dog toy being squeezed super fast, but she looks, sounds, moves and poops fine. No crop issues I can deduce, so my question is...is this a normal sound?

Is it a sneeze? I've occasionally heard a hen in my flock sneeze and it sounds like a high-pitched squeak.

It could possibly be a sneeze as @FoodFreedomNow has said.... Is there any way you can get a video of her doing it?

I don't post on YT and it is rather random but a sneeze is also something I have thought of, just didn' t know they could lol! She does it several times a day now that the cold weather has set in but has only been doing it this month.

I have a Silkie cockrel and an OEGB pullet that sneeze when they are eating crumbles. When they get pellets, it doesn't happen.

Mine eat pellets too, she only started this month. She seems fine otherwise so not exactly sweating bullets lol.
