Rooster with respiratory symptoms

[Cheekychook12]

Got home and noticed all the feeders were empty, when I filled them up chickens were gorging themselves
And I noticed one of the boys was frothing from the mouth a bit and panting
He wears a collar which I instantly took off when this happened, but he’s been wearing it for several months with no issues
Still eating, walking and doing normal chicken things
Seems to be getting a little better as I type this
His throat is clean and pink

How's he doing? I've seen this happen when they gorge themselves. The food gets stuck in their throat, causing the saliva and breathing trouble. Sometimes it clears on its own; other times, I have to massage the food down into the crop.

I gave him a little massage and he’s fine this morning thankfully, sounds like he just had something stuck and he got it down

Glad he's better.

I have a chick with sudden respiratory symptoms now, cracking sound when breathing, sneezing, panting
