Dirty beaks?

[Mama Fritzi]

Two of my 7 week old Buff Orpington chicks have stuff stuck to their beaks, any suggestions on how to remove or should I just leave it?

Here's a better picture, they have ben eating a few Black Mission Fig and it could be stuck on it?

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

Is it something sticky? You could towel her up and lay her on your lap. You could use lightly soapy water and dip a rag into the water and scrub it off. Rinse off any soap that might still be on the beak before you release her.

Good luck and welcome to our flock!

Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan

Or, just leave it, it will likely fall of on it's own, or wash off when she drinks.

Hello and Welcome To BYC! X2, they do sometimes get sticky food stuff stuck to their beaks, if it seems to be bothering them you can just wash it off, otherwise they will probably scrape it off themselves.

Welcome to BYC! Please make yourself at home and we are here to help.

X3 sticky foods equal dirty beaks. Simply use a washcloth and whip it off.

They got it off by themselves! Thanks

Usually the other chicks will pick it off.
