Hi Everyone I am new here, but I have been a lot of the post and people seem to be very helpful.
I was watching my chicken eating today and saw on spit up water/ liquid. I am concerned about crop conditions and possibly grapworm.How do I know what to treat her for?

Thanks

Sometimes when a bird has been eating and drinking a lot, they may have liquids or feed come back up.

The best way to determine if there's a problem with the crop is to feel of the hen's crop first thing in the morning before she's had anything to eat or drink. The crop should be empty/flat after a full night's sleep. If it's not empty, then treat according to the article linked below.
