16-Week old chickens

[Kathecc]

I have 16 weeks old chickens and this morning I went down to see how they were doing and started walking away and started hearing one of them make a very loud hen noise. Just like most people do I looked it up and It said it was the egg song but after she made it I looked and I did see a clear puddle on the ground but no sign of egg eggshell or yolk. And she did not look in distress or anything. She looked really good. I even looked at her butt to make sure nothing was stuck . not really sure Will take any help. Thank you

Can you post a picture of the bird? Are you certain it was not crowing?

There is another sound they make that is very close to the egg song. It is what I'd call a nervous alert. They don't see a specific threat but for some reason are nervous. Maybe she heard a sound she did not recognize? Was it windy?

I don't know what that clear puddle was, if it was from her. She may have upchucked or passed something through her system. These things happen and are not always a disaster. I'd certainly watch her but as long as she is acting normally I would not worry.
