I don't think it matters if they don't add their location. They probably don't want to tell a bunch of strangers what part of the world they live in...

Hello, it’s me again. One of the 2 Rhode Island Reds with presumably Coccidiosis started dripping a slimy, yet clear liquid from her beak. It’s on and off, and I’m wondering what it is from. I don’t have to worry about quarantining them from the flock, as they’re new and haven’t been accepted yet.
Any ideas on what this slimy transparent discharge is? Because I am clueless and worried right now.

Is that happen when they drink water ..
I see this only if they drink water too much and they bend down and water comes out
Secondly this happen when the crop is fully empty and they drink water .

Nothing to worry if this occasionally happen and they are acting fine eating and playing

You can add some acv once a week so that it will balance the crop pH level

Everyone is free to add their location.... or not.
It sure does help to know where folks are located when giving advice tho.

I guess I agree with you.

Oh, okay. Her crop was empty that morning when she was having the beak discharge. Good to know, thanks! The two Rhode Island Reds are kind of slow, not lethargic, but they don’t operate as fast as the other chickens. I don’t know if that’s bad or if it’s just how they act because the previous owner raised them in his backyard with most-likely not a lot of free-roam, considering he had a job and his kids didn’t really take care of them.
