I noticed what i thought was dirt crusted in my Cochin's nostrils. I thought little of it until I saw her breathing through her mouth. Then i noticed that she had a hang nail type issue above her beak. Hubby helped me take some pics which revealed a bruise near her other nostril that looks like a peck. She acts normal. I didn't see blood in the pen. I want to clean her nose but I'm afraid of drowning her. What does this look like to you? Should i freak out cuz i'm freaking out. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the encouragement. I'm thinking she is mouth breathing because of the gunk in her nostril..that's what I do when it happens to me. Can and how do I clean it?
