Hello. Very new to the chicken world. Don’t know what I was missing. Amazing creatures. I read on spitting up chickens and need a little advice. 1 hen about 3 years old spitting her water up. Keeps eating and pooing. Going to do the crop check in am. Just wormed tonight and will treat for cocci tomorrow. Have 3 grey Orpingtons. They have a small coop at night and have a large run around horse corrals. It’s like she overeats and then spits up and does it all over again.

Have you tried limiting her feed intake and feeding wet mash?

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.

It sounds like her crop is either blocked or sour. Try reading this article and treat her accordingly. Good luck.
