I've never heard this myself but it could be possible. Gender? Age?

Hi @TexasSam Do you have a video of the hiccups so we can hear it?

Could it be a cough or sneeze? Sometimes they can make a noise if they get a little feed stuck in their nostrils or if they inhale some food particles the wrong way.

X2. I think it could be a sneeze or a "snick." They can do it from dust in feed irritating the nostrils. If it is very frequent, and not when they are eating, it could be from a respiratory virus or infection.

A video posted to YouTube with a link here is the best way for us to hear what you hear.
