Hen drooling?

[Wyorp Rock]

Some hens take a break in hot weather, hard to know, but if she's fairly young, then she may be starting to have a reproductive problem if she's not laying eggs or she may be sick from something else.

I'd re-check her crop in the morning to make sure it's emptied.

Do watch to see that she's eating/drinking o.k. and if you note any more drooling.

Thank you for the photo.
Yes, I've seen that product before. While I realize they have "dewormer" on the front of the package, most find that natural products simply do not eliminate worms if there's an infestation.
The product probably won't hurt your hens if you follow the directions.

Some key things to note when looking at a product is wording. Words actually matter. Yes, it does say dewomer on the front, but nothing about deworming - the ingredients are listed and terms like "boosts digestive health", "improves nutrient absorption", "aid digestion", "supports infection resistance", "promotes gut health", etc. does not mean "deworm".

Again, nothing wrong with using the product and trying it out, just don't count on it eliminating worms if they are a problem in your flock. Getting a fecal float will let you know if they actually need deworming or not.

If you look at Anthelmintics (Medicine Dewormers) wording is much different. You will see labeling say something like "For the Removal And Control of intestinal worms, tapeworms, roundworms, etc. "

See the difference? Not bashing you, it's just a pet peeve of mine, I think often the way things are worded can be misleading.

I did not notice that!! Thanks. I will check her crop in the morning before she eats. I watch her eat and drink normally like the other hens do.

She has drooled a few times. I haven’t seen her do it today but I was also gone most of the day. Her mouth looks fine to me but I’ll check it again to be sure. Maybe her not laying has to do with not enough calcium? This is the dewormer.

That stuff is nothing but snake oil and possibly toxic to your birds.

I have a two year old Speckled Sussex that is drooling/vomiting. I noticed it a few days ago. She is recovering from an attack by the flock. She has had a severe case of vent gleet. I finally diagnosed that a few days ago and we are on day two of treating that. After her epsom salt bath tonight she drooled. It's more like vomiting a clear liquid than drooling. Not sure how to treat it.
