Drooling or saliva dripping from a chicken's mouth is not normal and usually indicates an underlying health issue. Common causes include:

1. Crop Issues

Impacted crop (blocked with food or foreign material)

Sour crop (yeast infection causing foul smell and fluid buildup)

Both can cause fluid to back up and leak from the mouth.

2. Respiratory Infections

Illnesses like infectious bronchitis or Mycoplasma can cause fluid buildup in the throat and mouth.

Chickens may drool if they have difficulty swallowing or breathing.

3. Toxins or Poisoning

Eating spoiled feed, toxic plants, or chemicals can irritate the digestive system and cause drooling.

4. Overheating/Heat Stress

Extreme heat can cause excessive panting and fluid loss, which might look like drooling.

5. Neurological Issues

Damage to the nerves or brain (e.g., from Marek’s disease) can impair swallowing.

What to do:

Isolate the bird.

Gently feel the crop — if it's squishy and sour-smelling, suspect sour crop.

Check for respiratory sounds (wheezing, sneezing).

Provide clean water and electrolytes.

Consult a vet or experienced poultry expert if symptoms persist.

Treatment is the use of Amoxy - col.
