Hi, all. I have 3 chicks (3 weeks old), first flock I've had since I was in high school (I'm 22 now) so it's been a while, and back then my mom did more of the raising than I did. We're having a few concerning symptoms that I'll post about in the health section on here, but I wanted to check in on this one thing. Pretty sure this is yawning, but just to be sure, should I be concerned?

Adjusting the food I’m its crop. Perfectly normal as long as it isn’t doing it constantly. :) If you are really worried though, you can check to make sure their crops are emptying over night. Take their food away at night then check crops first thing in the morning before you give the food back. Everyone should have a flat/empty crop first thing in the morning.
