What would make a chicken suddenly squeaky? She also is frequently opening and closing her beak, then will poke at her underbelly

No not really. She was squeaky/barking this am when i came to feed her. She's been quiet since but is acting normally for her. Still doing the frequent opening and closing of her beak. I videoed it and uploaded it to YouTube but can't figure out how to attach here.

Does it sound like this?

Stridor is from a partial obstruction to the airway. Often a bit of food or debris that is stuck and will resolve on it's own. Also can be caused by a respiratory infection, so if it does not resolve, that should be considered. I've had a couple of birds do this when they are very hot also, once it cools in the evening it resolves.

No it's more barky but she doesn't seem to have any difficulty breathing. I'll just keep an eye on her for now. Thanks for your help!

It sounds like she is sneezing or snicking. It could be environmental or something like dust or feed in her nostrils. Respiratory diseases may start out with sneezing. Watch for any bubbles in eyes, head shaking, nasal drainage, or wheezing. Hopefully, it is just something temporary.
