Crop issues?

[Vickers58]

My drake seems to be having some issues. He is acting normal, but his quack sounds strange, and when he eats he's tilting his head back to get it down....

He is in his pen with two of the girls, but if you could take a look ad see if it looks like he's having a serious issue. He's the only dark one in the pen right now.

why is he doing this??

My runners do that when they swallow a huge mouthful of dry food. It seems to get kind of stuck in their throat, so they wiggle their necks like that , take a drink, wiggle, till they get it down the hatch.

And thanks for getting that video . . . . not always easy to catch them doing what you want to ask about.
