If the is a blockage what do I do

Ok, if it doesn't sound like there are any breathing obstructions, your brooder is at 40C and its crop is fine then it could need a little drink of water so dip its beak in the water.

I can tell you how I clear blockages but you will need a strong stomach...

 

[Cheekychook11]

Tell me

If I am 100% sure there is a blockage and I know that bringing it back out wont damage its airways, I put my mouth over its beak and ever so gently suck. But it has A LOT of RISKS so you have to know what you are doing and what is causing the blockage.

Not a good idea for me then, he’s eating some food and seems interested by it

 

[Cheekychook11]

Idk if that means anything

 

[Down Under]

That is a good sign.

 

[Cheekychook11]

He seems less bothered when distracted by food

 

[Cheekychook11]

He’s constantly preening

That's good, that is normal behaviour. Just make sure that it is drinking as well.
