    My Easter Eggers beak broke.

    This exact thing happened to my hen last year. There's some helpful info in that thread on my page. Since the flesh is salvageable, the beak itself will continue to grow out like a nail that got lifted from it's bed. In about a week or so the broken beak will fall off naturally and you'll see...

    Please Respond! Sores on body, lathargic hen!!!!

    On a side note, it's not on her feet at all but the sore I found on her leg looks like late stage bumble foot. I check for signs of that regularly and haven't seen anything on her feet. IDK, I'm just putting stuff out there at this point. I know it can spread through infected blood if untreated...

    Please Respond! Sores on body, lathargic hen!!!!

    My mistake, she only hasn't laid since she's started behaving odd, so about a week and a half. She does walk normally, just not often. The only weird thing she does when she walks is she sometimes stumbles when she first gets up because she's just been that lethargic, but when she is up and...

    Please Respond! Sores on body, lathargic hen!!!!

    Last time she molted was November, I'm not going to lie I'm not sure if they do that more than once a year, but if not then I don't think that's the case. And no, no eggs for about the same amount of time I've been noticing her acting different. Neither of the sores are near her keel, and since...

    Please Respond! Sores on body, lathargic hen!!!!

    I wouldn't be so concerned about the sores if it weren't for her behavior and overall health lately... Her feathers have been falling out more too, from no particular spot, and it's really worrying me that she hasn't been eating much. I am looking to see if the sores may coincide with her other...

    Please Respond! Sores on body, lathargic hen!!!!

    Hey, I know I only post when something goes wrong lol, but my buff orpington, Angel, almost 2 years old, is normally a really healthy girl. I've never thought she might be sick or in pain, she's a very vibrant girl with an attitude. She lets me know when she doesn't like something, but that's...

    Update: Angel is drinking and eating more of her mash. I added a bit of baby aspirin to one of her warm water bowls and she went crazy for it (I only added a quarter of it to a whole bowl of water). She's still being very docile, she actually just jumped up on my lap and fell asleep in the...

    Oh! And as for the vetricyn, I'm broke as of now so I might have to hold off on that for a few days but do you have any advice for an at home alternative in the mean time? I do have Neosporin thankfully, I already dabbed her with sterilized sea salt water mixed with a small amount of peroxide...

    Yeah, sounds exactly alike. And at what point did you trim from relative to the blue line? I'm getting the posts mixed up... Did you trim the whole thing right off leaving her beak bare? This is what someone else said I think but I'm trying to see at what point I need to trim from... Your...

    Yes, this looks like almost the same sort of break, I'm glad she's doing better! From what I can see it looks like your girls breaking point was close to the cuticle too? I can't really tell but if so it gives me hope. I'm obsessively comparing all the pictures posted to figure out her relative...

    One more thing, does anyone whose experienced this sort of issue have any input on how your bird reacted to food at first? One of the first things I did when she hurt herself was make her warm mash with warm water and I made sure to sterilize her food/ water bowls in boiling water, but she would...

    This makes me feel so much better, I was really looking for some input from someone who has experienced something similar. Everyone is so helpful, I'm beyond greatful... I was a mess over her at first I nearly had a heart attack lol. Thank you all so much!

    Broken beak! Please help

    Yeah, I worry about that too but she looks fine internally and I imagine if the flesh/ bone were broke then she'd show more sign of discomfort. I believe she's ok. To be honest this is the first time she's ever been hurt, she's been alert but very docile. At this point its 1am so she's sleeping...
