My hen sounds like a squeaky toy

[vinita1980]

Does anyone have an idea about what is going on with my hen. She is probably about 4 years old and sounds like a squeaky toy. I first noticed this about a month ago, but has recently started squeaking more. She is otherwise seemingly healthy. No discharge, eyes are bright, normal energy, eating and drinking fine.

Thanks in advance.

I sounds to me like she's purposely making that squeaky noise. I've heard some strange noises come from mostly my hens but that if I heard it, it didn't continue. Is she perhaps talking to the others about something, like "get away from me," type of warning, or she just does that all the time?

If it's all the time, she might have swallowed something that's making her make that noise. I'd try look into her mouth and down her throat a bit to see if you'd see something stuck there.
