Hello
Would anyone know why a rooster would have like clear liquid around his beak and inside he keeps opening his mouth and closing it it looks sticky from what I can tell but he does seem a bit down and sad falling sleep standing up how could I treat him
Thanks
 
Have you checked his crop..... the pouch on the right of his chest that he fills with food through the day so that it will be digested through the night. If his crop is hard and impacted, that can clog his digestive system up and water does not pass down through his system when he drinks but refluxes back up and out of his mouth because of a blockage.
His crop should be full at night when he goes to roost and flat and empty in the morning before he has access to food. Feel it tonight and then remove all food from his cage/coop and check it again in the morning. If it is not empty then he has a blockage somewhere in his digestive tract.
If it is empty morning and night then he is not eating and is clearly unwell for some other reason and if it is full at night and empty in the morning then the drooling is not due to a crop impaction and you may be looking at a respiratory issue. Does he cough or sneeze or shake his head or his breathing sound raspy or wheezy?

Well I didn’t know what was wrong and then he started bleeding had blood in his beak and I thought he was bleeding
From inside him but turns out his beak is cracked from the inside it’s not a very big crack but it was bleeding and that’s where the clear liquid was coming from as well. So I cleaned all the blood and I hope he gets better anything I can do to treat his beak?

Adding your general location to your profile would be helpful.

Can you post some photos of the beak and of the rooster?
I would still check to make sure the crop is empty in the morning before he eats/drinks.

Depending on how severely the beak is damaged, it may be best to leave it alone - again, photos would be most helpful.

That red mark is where the crack/cut is not sure what it is at this point
