One chicken making a squeaky kind of hiccup noise.

[Deer lane farm]

I thought it would just go away but it hasn't. No other chickens are making the sound. She seems fine otherwise. Any advice?

Is it a sneeze? Can you get video?

This sounds like what my hen was doing. Is she active? Does she eat and drink?

Probably it is a sneeze or a snick, although I can't see a video. This can be common in most chickens on occasion, especially if there is powdery feed or dust around. If the chicken does it frequently, I would look for any nasal or eye drainage, gasping, or labored breathing which could be signs of a respiratory disease, such as infectious bronchitis or others.
