Morphology
The parts 'crotch' (a body part) plus 'dropping' do not compositionally yield 'animal feces' in a straightforward way; a B1 learner who knows the words would more likely interpret it as something falling from a crotch. The sense here is vulgar, idiomatic slang and not a predictable combination of the constituents (and the supplied sense of 'drop' as 'to give birth' is irrelevant), so the overall meaning is unpredictable without prior exposure.
Etymology
The noun crotch dropping comes from a simple, literal image: droppings falling from an animal's crotch, the area between its legs. So, the phrase means 'animal poop' or 'droppings' today.
