My 20 week old buff orp rooster was having some supervised free range time tonight like we do every night and Loco started screaming the first time was so funny we thought he was trying to crow. but a few min later he did it again and something just didnt sound right so we started to round them up, i noticed a lot of blood dripping out of his mouth he is a gentle baby so I picked him up and looked he had no visible wounds i gently felt his crop it felt like a wire or something was in it and he would begin to choke, my 6 yr old saw it and was hysterical so I sent her in the house he started screaming constantly and getting weak so I put him down.. now is this something that happens some times they eat somethingin the yard that hurts them or should I be worried about disease, Please help!

Could it be gapeworm or other parasites?
If it's wire in his crop, you can do a small surgery to get it out. It's pretty safe and easy.
