I have a problem.
Six weeks ago I had two of my baby chicks hatch. A male Buff Orpington and a female Millefleur Pekin Bantam. They were sat on my shoulder two nights ago and Fish (Orpington) pecked out my earing and swallowed it. I can now feel it in the vent of the chick but am scared it may be stuck in it’s intestines. Is there anything I can do? The earing is just below the vent and I can feel the sharp tip at the slightest touch. I know most farmers would cull to put it out of it’s misery, but Fish and Fleck are just family pets and we wouldn’t dare kill them. I even tell my mum of for mentioning anything like roast chicken! Please help.

Kind Regards,

Junior
