Hen unknown age, production cross. Fluffs her neck feathers, arches her neck, snakes her head side to side. looks healthy, eating scratching, normal pecking order aggression. No open mouth breathing. no gagging or coughing. ??
 
Is this something she does all the time? Is she still doing it?


Sometimes the birds need to adjust the crop or the contents in the crop, which is in the neck - they will open their beaks, extend their heads and move their necks kind of strange.
