The last couple of days I have seen a few hens almost throwing up when eating their Mash in the mornings, it's like the mucous that comes out of their mouth when chickens have crop but I don't think it is crop. I have turned 2 hens now upside down now to see if it's crop but no more or this stuff comes out and it only seems to happen in the mornings when they are eating.
It's happened to a 16 weeks old Wyandotte and a Lav Araucana (not sure of age). Neither of these 2 birds have any troubles eating, they don't jerk their necks around to dislodge anything, they don't isolate themselves from the flock and their is not significant bulge in the crop area.
