Two of my aunts hens have been sneezing, they show no sign of illness or distress other then that and it hasn’t spread within the flock and those two are some of the few laying, any idea if it’s bad? Their sneezes sound congested
 
How often are they sneezing? Is it during feeding, and how is your coop ventilation? Chickens do sneeze occasionally, just like we do if something is irritating their nostrils. A sick chicken would either sneeze often all day long, or have other symptoms, such as gasping, bubbles in one eye, eyelid swelling, noisy breathing, or nasal drainage.

They have lots of ventilation, I didn’t notice anything off about their appearance and I’ve noticed it when they’re eating, I’m not around them often since they’re my aunts and I can’t see them anymore now
