Who all has chicks for sale right now and what kinds?

I have LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS OF CHICKS. maybe 400..... not all are fore sale but a good chunk. I have from day old up to 4-5 Months old. vi have several ads on craigslist in Ashland city. misty Marans a few Easter eggers and some super blue egg layers......lots of those.
 
Question......I have 4 new babies 8-10 weeks and 2 are sort of warming up to me and 2 are not sure they want anything to do with me. This morning while I was sitting out with them I thought I should start handling them more so I picked up the Columbian Wyandotte, Lily, and it wasn't easy catching her. She squawked like crazy and when we sat down and she was on my lap she kind of threw up on my leg.....it was all clear liquid though so I think it was because she was drinking water when I picked her up and she just kind of freaked out and her water came back up.

Has this ever happened to anyone? She seems alright otherwise, ran back into the coop when I put her down. It's going to take a bit for her to become friendly and I know some are and some aren't .....should I worry it or do you think it was fear, heat and too much water.
 
I would think it is because she just had water in her crop. it is very easy for it to come back up if it is kids fresh. being up set would not help. she is probably drinking more with the heat.

I have seen them bend over to get something off the ground and spit water out.

now if it happens a lot she might have sour crop. I would try a flat coke to eat away what is blocking her crop.

Ok so why flat, I know not flat is more powerful. Like it'll eat the acid off a battery, cleans the heck out of a windshield, I'm told it will dissolve the shell of an egg- it takes some time. I'm guessing just to powerful, or the birds don't take the fizz to well.
