Answer:

Pip is a dry, hardened condition of the tip end of the tongue and is caused by the fowl being compelled to breathe continuously through the mouth by reason of the colds, roup or other disease which closes the nostrils.

The remedy is to remove the cause by curing the diseased condition of the nostrils.

The hard crust upon the end of the tongue should never be removed, as it is a part of the tongue. Apply vaseline lightly to it.
