They're just adjusting their crops, babies tend to do it more since they tend to over eat. Nothing to worry about. :] you can post a video to YouTube or a similar site and link back.

Umm I have never seen a chicken do that before and be fine
I would continue to try to figure it out
Their diet looks awesome
Much like my chickens

Please don't try to regurgitate a chicken for no good reason like that, it's a good way to kill them.

I think I’d be to scared to do that anyways lol

Every bird does it, she just might have eaten something a bit too big for her.

I don’t see anything abnormal there and I have dealt with (more than) my fair share of crop issues and respiratory issues.
Keep an eye on him/her and check that their crop is nice an empty first thing in the morning.
If you go at night when it is good and dark you should be able to get your hands on him/her even if hard to catch in daylight.

Out of my the 32 chicks I’ve raised not one has done that
