(2)What the hell is going on when the chicken spit?

Let’s move on to the reason why chickens spit water:

5. Gastroenteritis

There are many types of glandular gastritis, and there will be many symptoms. Today, I will only tell you which glandular stomach symptoms will cause severe vomiting. After 20 days, the onset is most obvious. The food intake does not increase or does not meet the standard for several consecutive days, and the drinking water increases. It is not obvious, the phenomenon of overfeeding occurs, the feathers are black, the crop is full of liquid, no material, the anatomical crop has serious water accumulation, the glandular stomach is swollen like a gizzard, and a large amount of feed is stored in the glandular stomach, which is loose and inelastic, and the intestinal wall becomes deformed. Thin, brittle, not many dead, chickens with this symptom spit water and are very serious.

6.Mixed infection

Causes swelling of the intestinal wall, causing local inflammation and infection, internal heat, pain, the chicken needs to drink water, but the water is blocked from going down, a large amount of mucus and water are mixed in the crop and accumulated, refluxed, and discharged through the mouth, and the absorption function of the chicken changes after eating. Poor, this can be seen through the feces, a large number of undigested feed particles, and the color of the feces is yellow. Generally, in this case, the proportion of chickens spitting water is not high, and there will be sporadic diseases one after another.

7. Heat stress

This cause is mainly onset in summer. Due to the hot weather in summer, the chickens drink more water, and then the phenomenon of spitting water will occur. Spitting is obvious. This cause is mainly relieved by cooling.

8. The temperature in the house is high, the density is high, and the ventilation is small

A large number of clinical practice shows that chickens of the same age will have different spitting phenomena due to the high density and different ventilation of the chicken house.
To sum up, there are many reasons why chickens spit water, and the symptoms of different reasons are also different. Friends of chicken farmers can diagnose the cause of chicken spitting according to the symptoms of the chicken, and start from the aspects of management and disease, so as to correctly prevent and treat.
