    Chicken heaving and gargling after surgery.

    My 6 year old Americana hen just got out of surgery for being eggbound.

It worried us the whole ride home, but when we got her settled in a warm comfy spot she...

    Hen is throwing up clear brown liquid.

    I have three Americana hens who are all about 5 to 6 years old. But I noticed just today that one of them has a lot of clear brownish liquid coming from her beak like she's throwing up.
