Unsecure chicken perches

Sorry in advance for this topic but needed to ask to prevent me worrying.

 

My speckled sussex was free ranging in the garden tonight and digging about as usual. She suddenly looked like she was being sick...it was a clear looking fluid that she seemed to cough up and then immediately swallow again. She did this twice. She continued to dig about and eat grass etc. Her comb is lovely and red, she has laid an egg today, is eating pellets and drinking and even has had a dustbath.

 

Just wondered if anyone else had witnessed anything like this.

had she just had a drink of water? I've seen mine do that when they've just had a good drink then started to peck about almost as if the water hasn't gone down all the way

She had been out a good 5 minutes, I suppose it could be possible as she has been drinking throughout the day.
