Do a search on "Sour Crop", sounds like that is what you have.

is it liquidy, or a certain color? I had some hens do this and was told it was something respiratory as they would kinda cough and "sneeze" it out. They would shake their head to try to get it loose. We gave them some antibiotic powder we got at our local Tractor Supply and it cleared right up.

search coryza and also MG.
try dennaguard, or first try sulmet then dennaguard. You will have to order these things from the internet.
also try your poultry vet extension...if anyone dies try to get it to them so they can test it for you. Its important to know, especially with
upper respiratory like that.
Its probably MG and sulmet and/or denaguard should take care of it.
be sure that they have a fan in their coop and are well ventilated and lots of fresh water too! dont let the coop get too dusty. chicken throw off alot of dust and it can hurt their own lungs...not to mention your's! good luck
