silkies crest feathers getting stuck and blocking her nose holes.

[Buckingham Palace]

I have a paint silkie called poppy and lately I have been having to peel her crest feathers out of her air ways. I have no clue whats going on. But I’m scared they will get blocked and she won’t be able to breath. I felt her aire holes and i felt this weird goo on them. It’s clear but definitely gooy. I’m not sure what to do. Any ideas. Thanks.

Can you post pictures of her face? From what your describing, it sounds like she's having nasal discharge. Are you seeing any other symptoms such a ocular discharge, facial swelling, bubbles in eyes, coughing, sneezing, head shaking, gasping, or similar? On her or any other birds.

ill try and get some pictures of her tomorrow morning if she was feathers stuck to her face. You literally have to peel the feathers off. It’s like there was glue on her face.

Is there discharge coming from her nostrils? Her opening her beak is likely just because of stress. When they get stressed out they mouth breath sometimes.

Yes. When I run my finger over her nose I can feel it.

Hi. So I went to lock them in to night and I noticed that Charlie and Ronnie also had clear stuff around their air ways, Minnie had some feathers stuck to her beak but not as bad as poppy Charlie had nothing stuck to hers but she does also have a smaller crest. Charlie would not let me touch her beak is I could not feel how it felt. Blue and roostee had nothing it's just the hens. they all seem fine Charlie mounted about a month ago and still has not started laying the two Babys are losing feathers but not that many. They are on layers pellets.
