My two year old White Leg Horn is leaking clear fluid from her mouth, how alarmed should I be? Could this be ascites? Should we discard her eggs and how far back?
 
They will sometimes do that if they drink too much or are turned upside down, I'm not sure if it's a sign of illness, ascites if tissue swelling from water retention, that's different than water coming out of the mouth.

What are other symptoms?
Was there an injury/predator attack?
How often and at what times is this liquid present?
Is she eating, drinking, laying, pooping, active?
Crop condition? Full at night and empty in the morning?

I would isolate her and observe all these things.
