Why does my hen make this wierd noise?

[BellLisamo]

She makes like a sneeze or spitting noise when i get close to her?
Is that a warning? Like get away from me!??! I have never heard it before.

What is she doing!??!?! She better not be sick. She looks healthy as a horse, the fat thing

Any way you can get a video? That does interest me! Doesn't sound like anything my girls do and I'm outside ALOT! Could she be going broody? It would be the right season...

One of my girls does this. The completely wild, untameable, Jungle Fowl mix. The only time I can get close to her is when she is roosting. When I try to touch her she makes that sneezing/spitting sound. Then she tries to bite! I bet it is a warning of some sort. (Either that, or she's allergic to me LOL.) I'll be interested if you get any other answers.

Is she sitting on a nest constantly? Could be a, "I'm hatching these eggs and you're not getting them" sound.

Nope, just a spitter. It's like "bla-tah!" I'll catch her doing it tomorrow.
