    Hiccups... you might have to explain more and give more details on other behavior, change in behavior, living situation, age, feed, and so on.

    She seems ok today. I think she may have had a piece of straw stuck in her throat. I have no idea how old she is - maybe 10-12 months, and we feed them laying mash, scratch and fruits and veggies. It was the weirdest noise.
