Help!! clear fluid coming from hens mouth.

[Triplell]

I have a hen that is 2 1/2 years old and tonight she has water like fluid coming out of her mouth and nosterls. She also has an empty croup and has lost much weight. I give VetRX in their water plus vitamins with electrolyte's.

I wouldn't know what she has but if she drinks water and puts her head down it's just water coming back up chickens can't swallow but get her checked out if she's loseing weight and has discharge from her nose she needs to be seen

Can't help with the diagnosis, but if i was you i would rub her neck and crop, open mouth and look inside for throat blockages. Sometimes holding them upside down for a minute and rubbing crop can loosen t if it has swallowed something (wood chips?). good luck

Has she ever been wormed with something like Safeguard or Valbazen? Have you done a cloacal exam on her? Was she vaccinated for Marek's?
