Do chickens sneeze?

[downtownjb80]

One of my hens today made 4 or 5 very loud high pitched squeaks. It was like she was sneezing? Is it sneezing?

When my chickens sneeze it sounds exactly like a sneeze, not a squeak.

One of my chickens sneezes regularly and it always sounds exactly like a sneeze. But then....people make all different kinds of sneezing sounds so I guess your chicken could squeak when she sneezes!

Mine sounds just like that. The only one that normally sneezes is my poor debeaked girl.

When my chickens sneeze it is more of the high pitched squeak...but it still sounds "sneeze-like". It is adorable.

I've got a few that occasionally drink too quickly or get a piece of food stuck in their beak that will sneeze. You should probably watch that bird, though, because if it continues, you may have a respiratory issue going on (hope that's NOT the case, though!).

I have one EE that sneezes all the time when she's eating layer pellets. I think she gets the dust up her nose when she stuff her head in the feed bowl.
