My young roo is trying to cough up a hairball?

or is that normally how they try to find their voice.... I hope not and am praying for a mute roo!

Sounds like he is trying to crow. Sorry about your wish for a mute rooster, although I did read here that chickens will open their mouths like that are adjusting their crops so maybe there is still hope for silence!

Get ready for the cockledoodledo. He's trying to crow.
