Hello im stasia im still new to this website.I have a 2 week old chick who choked on nothing it seemes like. She only had water. I picked her up and tapped her back. Mucus like liquid came out of her mouth. She sometimes stretches her neck and opens her mouth and shakes her head as well. If anyone knows what may be going on that would help me so much. Thank you.

Chicks sometimes choke a bit on water.
If they've had a lot, mucus-like stuff comes back up when you apply any amount of pressure to the crop. I would just keep an eye on her and give her time to recover. If she's choking hard on the water, hold her gently upside-down to let the fluid drain out of her throat.
