Like a sneeze but not sick?

It's my first time raising broilers. I have noticed for a while now, over 10 days that they do a super quick sneeze and head shake once in a while. Is that common after eating and drinking? All are super active and alert, chasing insects, dust bathing and scratching around the ground. Normal poop and no signs of lethargy, disorientation or being weird. No nasal discharge or mucus out of anywhere.
 
If it's what I think it is, yeah, that's normal, especially if they're eating dusty food and can't get to water to wash it down right away. It's worse with mash, better with crumble, far less common with pellets, and almost entirely prevented if you wet the feed before feeding them.
