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.

Mucus maybe
 
What could be causing her to have thickened mucus? I’m not sure if she has Coccidiosis or not, but I’m skeptical she does, though, I didn’t think mucus was a symptom.
Is she weak and separated herself from the flock and she seems skinny? If so it may be because this is her final hours (unfortunately I learned this too from an unfortunate experience)

I just got her from a friend Yesterday. I had a previous hen that looked exactly like her. She died, but before she did, started dripping from her beak as well. The hen with the same problem has it on-and-off, and it really only happens when she’s drinking water.

They can drink too much water and it comes back out.
Is it really hot where you are?

Where in this world are you located?
Climate, and time of year, is almost always a factor.

It's easy to do, and then it's always there!

It sounds like a respiratory illness, Asper, infectious bronchitis, maybe synovitis. It could have any bacterial, viral, or fungal origin so it’s hard to say.
Confine her to somewhere warm where she can easily reach food and water, you could get baytril “cipro, enrofloxacin” it’s a good broad spectrum antibiotic but it’s no guarantee because some bacteria strains aren’t sensitive to it and if it’s one of the other problems it won’t have much of an effect other than suppressing possible secondary infections.
