HELP! Foam in his bill!

[KikiDeAnime]

I didn't realize until I had given them food but Colonel has white foam in his bill. He came running over to eat and I saw him flicking his head around and foam coming out of his bill.
He's currently acting normal aside from the white foam in his bill.

I tried to get video of it but he wouldn't let me and continued eating food.

Is this concerning?
What should I do?

I can't lose my young drake

Maybe he ate a slug. I think I’d check inside his mouth. Sounds like he’s fine though if he’s eating an drinking. Check inside his mouth, best to wrap him in a towel first.

Checked and there's nothing in there

Do you have slugs? I’ve seen my ducks eat a slug and get foamy so if you have slugs that maybe what happened. My ducks won’t even eat a slug now .

We have slugs in the garden but I've never seen any by the chicken and duck yards. And they don't go to the garden since it's blocked off so there's no way they could get a slug from the garden.

Slugs can be anywhere. Under rocks boards etc any place damp they like. I don’t know what else it could have been unless he ate something else that made him foam. My dachshund one time tried to eat a toad and they put off some kind of something that made her foam at the mouth and she never tried to chew on another one.

We have a bunch of frogs in our backyard everywhere, even in the chicken and duck yards.

I hope that Colonel is feeling a bit better at this point! Hopefully, it was just a slug or bad plant of some sort. Daphne developed very similar symptoms (frantically shaking her head, lots of yellow/white/green slime and foam from her bill, etc.) one day this past summer, and I was terrified that she was choking and about to die. After 20 minutes or so and lots of panic (+ rinsing out her beak, checking her airway, and considering a long drive to the ER vet, etc.), she was back to normal. She either ate a “bad” slug or caterpillar or plant. She and her sisters did the same thing a couple more times before learning their lesson. Anyways, hopefully Colonel has recovered similarly and will not have a reoccurrence!

Update: Must have been something he ate because he's doing much better. He and Duchess are following the chickens around the yard like usual. I don't see any more foam in his bill.

So glad to hear it!
