Mouth open, no sound??? Is this normal??? Chick is 2 days old

[4CrazyGirlz]

I saw the weirdest thing today with my 2 day old chicks. One of them kept opening its mouth like it was trying to crow or something, but no sound was coming out. Is this normal?? What was it trying to do? Is it possibly a rooster that is trying to crow but is too young? Has anyone else seen this?

How long was it's mouth open? It could've just been yawning.

Erm, I've seen it, but it normally doesn't bode good things, at least that I've seen.

Could it be to hot?

Is it panting, or just open? <The above is in reference to panting>

No, not panting. I guess it could have been a yawn....didn't realize chickens yawned. LOL! It happened several times in a row when I was watching today. Neither of the two seemed to be stressed at all. Everyone is eating and drinking well, and the temp is perfect. It just looked so odd! Maybe it was a yawn

Could have been adjusting its crop? My birds do that when the are eating, or just shorly there after...kinda open up and stretch out their necks to get every thing situated. Just a thought.
