Crooked and Injured chick beak, what do I do?

[Snowlily30]

My 6 week old bantum chicken mix got an injured beak a day ago, and I am not sure what to do while I am waiting for the vet to get back to me. I think she might have gotten attacked by our 2 week old duckling that has been living with her and our hen. Would appreciate any Ideas on how I can help her!

Clean it with saline and then spray vetricyn on it. Once it's dry, put Neosporin on it. Then wait and see how it's doing. Is the other side ok?

Aw, poor thing! Sorry I can't be a help but I wish you luck with her!

Poor baby!

I don't think there's a lot you can do.
I'd leave the beak alone and not apply anything to it, hopefully it will mend back, but it may be forever crooked, time will tell.
Do provide her with wet soupy feed and see that she's drinking.

Thank you for your reply! The other side is a little bent/cracked.

Poor baby, is she eating and drinking? Iv read posts where they give soft food in deep containers so they don't hit the break on the bottom of the dish.
