I just read this thread and think it is so wonderful that you saved this birds life. I too would love to see how it grows out and have no idea what it is.

Are there any chicken breeds that have elongated bills? The bird in question reminds me of a Strasser Pigeon (below) in this way.

No animal deserves to live like that. I'm going to go hug my girls now, and tell them how good they have it when they cluck at me!!!!!
