Adjusting crop or gapeworm?

I noticed one my pullets doing something like a gagging motion today. It was about 6 times in a one minute span. I stayed and watched her for a bit, then gapes three more times in 5 minutes. She's a young pullet--about 12 weeks. I've seen chickens do this in the past and have never worried about it, but I'm concerned about the frequency of it.

No other symptoms, she's eating normally, doesn't seem to be short of breath.
