Weird Noises

[Pollitos Mami]

Hi! One of my 11 week old chickens is making the weirdest noise. It's like a nasally hacking sound sort of. It's odd and she does it all the time now. It's like she's crying or hurt of something. Any ideas?

sneezing maybe? Mine sneeze sometimes, even a lot when diggin, in the dirt. Not sure though... would need to hear it. Could it be respiratory perhaps...

Thank You. And to me it sounds more like a goose or a duck even not the regular peeping my others chickens make.

There is another thread going on right now that perhaps you saw that asks about chickens sounding like a goose. Here is a link. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=556601 I have a 17 week old pullet who has sounded like a goose honking up until recently, when she started sounding more like a chicken. Others on here have reported their chickens making what sound like honking sounds at times. Must be normal.

LOL yes it's kinda like a teenagers high pitched whinning LOL before they get their adult voices, it's normal.
