Do your hens squeak when they are eating??? *pic :)*

I have four 8-month-old hens that are happy and healthy. One thing I have noticed is that they always squeak REALLY loudly when they are eating their layer feed. Is this normal, or do I have choking hens??

A picture, just for fun:

Mine sneeze when they eat (including my roo). Is that what you mean?

Mine sneeze too! It's funny. They keep their mouths open and just stand there like a human saying, "Wait, I have more! I'm not done yet!" And just stay there until they're done sneezing. They sound funny! I love it!

I know! That's why watching my hens eat is one of my favorite things to do.
