Odd Yawning behavior in 2 week old chick. Help?

[HuffleClaw]

Buttercup is now 2 weeks old. This is one of my 5 Old English Game Bantams that I hatched myself. This behavior started today (see video above). What could be the problem? I feed Poultry Starter and chick grit to them. Occasionally applesauce, but not lately. This is the only chick doing this. It’s a bit thinner than the others, but not really noticeable. It eats and drinks... but is anything wrong? Is this normal? It also cries almost constantly until I pick it up and hold him.

Thank you,
Kayla / HuffleClaw.

Chickens will do this sometimes to adjust their crops. Or it might be gapeworms, but I know nothing about that. I think it's okay, just keep an eye out for any abnormal behavior besides this. Also, get another opinion or three, just to be sure.

Have you massaged her little crop?
Ya know she’s/he’s crying cause they want love.....
And apple sauce!
Seriously try a gentle rub see if you feel anything odd.
Be sure this little one is pooping.

Crop is fine. Here’s the poop:
It’s watery and weird colored Thank you @MissChick@dee

GAPE WORMS !!!!!!
Oh no.... you’d see thin little string like (reddish color) worms in her throat/mouth.
That would be terrible

Honestly when I zoom in it’s too fuzzy for me to see, sorry. But maybe no more applesauce till it’s older. You could just wet and warm the chick starter and let him/her peck from your finger tip.

Better picture?

Definitely too wet and the color to me makes me wonder how long ago did you give applesauce?

Maybe 3 days ago at the least

It looks like a crop problem. Can you give the chick some pieces of frozen coconut oil, about a teaspoonful? Massage the crop every 2 hours. Cover your bedding with paper towels in case the chick is eating the bedding.
