What's wrong with my cockeral?

[mmack3685]

I have a black sex link cockeral and he looks like he's gagging on something and pushes his neck in and out and closes his eyes when he does it... eats and drinks fine but it kindve worries me... been doing it for about 5 days now... help!!

He could have something stuck in his crop. Is his crop full and hard, or full and squishy? Checking the crop first thing in the morning before he eats is the best time to tell if it has emptied like it should overnight. They will sometimes adjust the crop, but impacted or sour crop can be dangerous. Here are a couple of links to read:

Okay so I felt his crop this morning and it felt full but squishy... is this bad?
