Our little one does, every now and again, it sound so cute!
It could be dust in the hay maybe, or the housing?
If their eyes look clear and its only occassionally I wouldn't worry.

(I also love it when they shake themselves, from top to tail, thats cute too!)

Coughing a lot can actually be a sign of worms, but I wouldn't worry if its only occasional. Dust abounds in our goatshed what with hay, straw, and sometimes dust from feed too.
