Rooster yawning and shaking head

[Pollo_Central]

Does anyone have an idea why my rooster is doing this, he’s like yawning or gasping while shaking head, below is a link for a video on Reddit of what he’s doing

I plan on using elector psp on Thursday because that’s when it gets here, as he’s been preening himself a lot recently but I am not sure why he’s begun yawning, he has done this a bit recently but it’s getting concerning

Generally that's done when a chicken is trying to adjust the crop contents. Have you felt his crop? Is he eating well?

He is eating well, he always eats and drinks fine, when I touched his crop it felt soft on how it usually is, he also poops fine but sometimes poops watery but he’s been doing this for months now and acts fine

Than it's probably him just adjusting the crop contents. All chickens do it. It's not always so noticeable.

Look inside his mouth for any lesions; the roof of his mouth especially back towards his esophagus for small white splotches or if you see any mucus. Let us know what you see.

I looked inside and saw no white spots or lesions, there was a single piece of grass but he’s been foraging throughout the day right now, he is also still continuing to do it, not to the same level but he opens his mouth a bit then shakes, still eating, drinking, and crop feels good

Just did another look but with someone helping me with a flash light and we verified with another chicken his throat looks good just some grass in both of their throats
