It's very possible it drank too fast and inhaled it.

Can that kill or will they just spit it out??

It can, but it doesn't happen much. It really depends on how much they aspirate. In my experience, they're more likely to die from aspirating food than they are from aspirating water.

My emu routinely dips his entire beak into his water to drink and gets water in his nose, which results in him vigorously shaking his head to clear his nostrils.

Your chick likely either drank too fast or hasn't realized the whole beak doesn't need to be underwater to drink.

Yeah, they're awesome. A bit wild in the head, though!
