I was putting my flock to bed and one of my hens just threw up. I know this isn’t normal so I looked her over but everything seemed normal, her crop was empty, she has an appetite, she’s not bloated, her comb looks fine, and she’s been acting normal all day. The only thing I noticed that was abnormal is that she has a cut on her foot, and her scales are looking warped and like they might be coming up so I think she has scales leg mites. I’ve left her with the flock overnight because I have nowhere to put her but in the morning I can set up a kennel for her if it’s needed. I’m also going to treat my flock for scarlet leg mites tomorrow. Anyways I just wanted to know if there was anything else I could check or if her feet have anything to do with this because I don’t think she has sour crop, and I don’t know if I’m over reacting about her throwing up. She does have mycoplasma, but as far as I know she shouldn’t be throwing up because of it, none of my chickens ever have and it doesn’t look like she’s having a flare up. I couldn’t get amazing picture but she did happen to throw up on some plastic and the nesting boxes so if this helps I have pictures.

I'd check her crop first thing in the morning before she's had anything to eat or drink to make sure it's empty.

Possible she just spit up some water or food if the crop was full before roosting time.
Ok, I’ll check on her crop in the morning and make sure it empties. Hopefully it’s just spit up. Thank you for the advice!
