THAT IS BIZARRE /img/smilies/ep.gif
something is definitely not right....
in the first pic -- did she just have something in her mouth that made it look weird??
i was gonna ask if it was the same chicken
i can't imagine that the top beak was pushed into her head.....
that is one for the book of "things that make you say... hmmmmm /img/smilies/hmm.png"
If you have a place to keep your chicken separate from the others, you can hand feed her a few pellets at breakfast lunch n dinner time for first couple days..She will still be able to lift water with her bottom Beak. Keep watch to see if she can pick any pellets up after 3-4days of hand feed and pain has gone away..So, I woke up this morning to find that a newly introduced full grown hen into my flock of 11 hens had her top beak totally torn or ripped off! I don't see any remains of it, but the bottom beak is fully intact. She didn't want to comb out of her nest-I'm sure scared to death- and would not peck at food when I presented it to her. What do I do? Do I isolate her or let her try to establish her bottom "pecking order" which is very evident. Will she still be able to eat and drink? Will the beak grow back? I just don't know what is the best thing for her right now.
I will appreciate any helpful suggestions. Thank you!
