I used to raise parrots and I know that with them it is a bad sign when there is excessive moisture in the mouth.
I'm wondering if it's the same with chickens.
My 8 week old Bantam Frizzle roo has formed, for want of a better description, a couple of spit bubbles at the side of his beak.
The only thing that has changed is that he's been "free ranging" the last couple of days, so eating bugs and pecking through the dirt; and that it's gotten pretty hot here. 90 degrees today. It's not as hot as it gets so I'm worried that if it's the heat that they won't handle the summer well.
If it is bad, what can I do about it?
TIA
Mary
