Possible emergancy? Shaking head!

I heard this could be cause for concern so i just need some thoughts. My rooster, Peep, has been shaking his head constantly for days. Its like when they shake their head when grooming, but its SO frequent, almost none-stop. Is this bad? None of my other chickens do this (as long anyway)

Have you checked to see if his nostrils or ears are blocked? Is he able to eat and drink normally ?

No i haven’t, i will in the morning.

Yes, he eats and drinks fine. I do notice his crop is pretty empty, but everyone (i mean everyone) picks on him, so he does eat less. Also, its becoming winter, so everyone has slightly smaller crops now.

Look for lice and mites on his skin. How much room do they have? Do you have more than one feeder and waterer?

I will.

They are free ranged and have a very large coop.

I have many feeders but only one water source. I do make sure that i give each of them water before bed though.
