tbonin Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I have 6 baby silkie chicks. they are about 3-4 weeks old. one of them has a clogged nostril, that looks like it has some food in it. how do i get it cleared? tina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Corner of a tissue? Cotton bud? Cocktail stick with a wisp of cotton wool round it? You'd have to hold the chick's head very firmly so that you don't do it an injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I'd try damping it and use a cotton bud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB09 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I find a wet cotton bud does the trick, mine always give it a peck and when they realise they can't eat it they ignore it and generally sit quite still! Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
