Looks like you have a Brinsea Mini or Maxi? If you place the egg just right, about an inch or two from the edge, and the air cell end aimed outward, you may be able to shine thru the window and see inside the egg. I can do it in my Mini. This isn’t the Mini, but this is what i mean. :)

Id give it a little time. If you can, post a pic of candling it. We might be able to help you decide, if we can see in the air cell...:)
Idk about the baby... @biophiliac are you still around?:fl

I'm just getting ready to check out for the night. I can't imagine he's the only chick to ever get some food stuck in a nostril so I hope and expect he'll be ok. :fl @WVduckchick does this happen to ducks?

Rest well everybody.:)

Ducks start out on chick crumbles or somthing similar. But they do have to have water deep enough to rinse their nostrils when they eat. So yes it does, but they have a way of dealing with themselves. Idk how the pigeon could do something like that. But im not a pigeon peep, yet...
And correct me please if im not explaing the duck thing right , duck friends..:)
Gnight and sleep well! :frow
 
It does happen to ducks, but they can noodle in the water almost immediately by themselves.

I don’t even know what a pigeons nostrils look like! :oops: I would guess it will breath with its mouth open if it’s clogged?

I guess if I had to try something, I’d hold it with beak pointing downward and try to drizzle some water down the outside of the beak and see if it will loosen up enough for it to sneeze it out.
