I have a concern for one of my hens. My Salmon Faverolle has been regurgitating a clear fluid occasionally, but doesn't have a bloated abdomen. She walks fine, drinks water quite a bit and has foraged for bugs but won't eat her corn scratch. In addition to that, she's also been blinking with her third eyelid quite a bit. Could she still have ascites despite not being bloated? Thanks in advance for any help.
 
Is her crop full at night and empty in the morning? Are you feeding them chicken feed and not just scratch?

They should be eating nearly 100% chicken feed along with foraging for bugs
