This has been reoccurring and it’s very concerning. It started when she was around a week old and has gotten more dramatic and frequent. No other chick has this. She just seems to suddenly stop what she’s doing and her head starts looking up to the sky and goes down and repeats. Lasts around 5 seconds then stops. Happens every 5 minutes or so.
 
A short video uploaded to YouTube or Vimeo may help. Could the chick be adjusting her crop, or have something stuck in the crop. What is she eating including any grass or foods other than chick crumbles?
