New to this... behavior question?

[Keeniebird]

Have six new chicks... one week old and one of the leghorns is acting like it is trying to crow? Nothing comes out of course. Don't laugh but I was worried he was choking or something....They are all supposed to be hens. Any thoughts on this? I have SOOOOOmuch to learn! :0)

If it looks like your chick is yawning, this is perfectly normal behavior. Birds adjust their crops, and they do it often. Good luck with your babies!

Thanks! I was kinda worried. They otherwise all look happy, healthy and feisty!
