How do you clean a shrink wrapped chick?

I had to help a chick hatch yesterday. To say everything had dried out would be an understatement. He was a glue ball.

My wife spent about an hour with a tootbrush and warm water cleaning it up. It helped a lot but the
little fellow's fuzz is still matted up.

Does anyone know what I can do to clean him up better?

Thanks

Hi,

Been there myself. If he seems to be warm enough and mobile I would give him some time. The majority of the membrane gook eventually dries out and flakes off as his down grows. best thing to do is to keep em warm, dry, and well fed.


Hope this helps
