Just make sure the chick has access to chick grit and the tiny bit of paper and cotton will digest quickly.Thank you everyone - what was bad got worse. I was putting a small splint on (q-tip cut to about a 1/4) and my baby peacock/hen grabbed with beak and swallowed it. I called everywhere to take her in and nobody would see her. Shes going to dr tomorrow. SO far she is eating and going to the bathroom fine. But oh my gosh - I really need help with this one.
