4 week old chick odd behavior

[ChickChickHorray]

Newbie chicken keeper here. We have a four week old Easter Egger who keeps extending her neck and puffing her neck feathers out, she seems to be doing it mainly after eating. Is this normal chicken behavior or is is something up? She just had a few cut up bites of a strawberry and is on chicken starter feed and grit. Does anyone know why she’s doing this and if she’s ok or if I’m just being an overly concerned chicken Mom? Thanks!

I don't know if it is normal for every chicken keeper, but all of my chickens have always done it while eating. After they wash the feed down with some water they stop doing it

You're welcome! Don't worry, every first time chicken keeper is nervous (even us old timers ).
