I do not think so but if they overfill their crops you may get spillage. :)

yes the crop could have been overfull but the water did not spill out of the beak it came out with some force

Could have been like a regurgitating action.  But no they can't vomit.  Perhaps as is been hot, she got overheated?

This is the answers I got off Answers.com 

Chickens might vomit for a number of different reasons. They usually "vomit" water after drinking too much or had been drinking when they were picked up. They might also be sick due to a disease or a bug.

You're welcome Pol!

Is her crop okay?  I had a couple of those chicks in the brooder shed with sour crop, how they got it being inside I don't know, but one of them brought up some liquid when I picked her up.
