SNEEZING/BARKING/SQUEEK

[happyhencamper]

I HAVE A 10 MONTH OLD THAT HAS BEEN DOING THIS SOUND THAT I HAVEN'T HEARD BEFORE IN MY GIRLS IN THE 7 YRS I HAVE BEEN RAISING HENS. SOUNDS LIKE A SNEEZE/LOUD CHIRP/HIGH PITCHED BARK.

I HEARD IT WHEN THEY WERE STILL IN THE BABY COOP. JUST HER (ANGELINA)

IT IS ONLY ONCE AND A WHILE WHILE WHEN I AM OUT THERE AND REALLY DON'T SEE ANY OTHER SIGNS OTHER THAN SHE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A BIT SMALLER THAN THE REST. I GOT THEM AT TRACTOR SUPPLY. AMERICANAS/EASTER LAYERS?

DOESN'T SEEM TO BE SPECIFIC TO WHEN SHE IS DRINKING OR EATING. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS WHEN SHE WAS BEING BULLIED BY THE OTHERS BUT NOW HAVE SEEN IT HAPPEN WHEN SHE IS JUST STANDING ALONE.

IF IT WAS AN ILLNESS WOULDN'T THE OTHER BABIES HAVE GOTTEN IT BY NOW?

ANY IDEAS?

Do you have a picture of her? Do you have a video of her making the sound? Does she appear to be in distress when she makes the sound?
If she appears to be completely healthy, it may just be one of her natural sounds.

I can get it on video I think. She has no other symptoms other than being the bottom most of the pecking order and getting pecked at a lot.
