    Cracked Beak

    The top piece broke off at the Crack before I could glue it. Will file more on the lower beak.

    Cracked Beak

    Ill start with filing her left and look into the gluing. Guessing i need to file her right side lower as well to see if the top will slide over it. Couple more images in case it helps.

    Cracked Beak

    I bought her and another hen from a farm in central Texas. They are supposed to be less than a year old. They had about 20 similar hens out free ranging and I saw no indication that any of them had been debeaked, but I was only there a few minutes.

    Cracked Beak

    Thank you for all the input. Ill see if I can't get an image from the left side to help clarify. I get the feeling it will take some light trimming like Lacy showed. Never had to trim. I know we don't want that crack to get worse.

    Cracked Beak

    Noticed a young hen I've had about a month has a cracked beak. Sprayed it today with vetericyn. She seems to be eating and doing ok. Based on the attached images, any additional advice?

    I'm always a big fan of wheeled coops. It's hot in Texas right now and I can put it in the shade in various places or put it behind the shed when a storm hits.

    Chest/neck Bloated and lethargic

    The people I bought her from think she is egg bound so going to start with an epson salt bath and go from there.

    Chest/neck Bloated and lethargic

    Started laying less than 2 months ago. Just found her alone. lethargic. Neck/chest puffed up. Crop feels hard. Free ranges but has grain every day. Not sure she has laid for a couple of days either as I gave been an egg short for two days. Read about coconut oil for treatment.

    Just topical. Just saw that she was standing on one leg only after cleaning her up, and the injured leg barely lets her move around.

    Hawk attack, need input

    Hard to tell but she feels warm this morning. Cleaned her up and reapplied a generic neosporin again. Been doing this 2x/ day. She ate some yesterday. Still laying eggs. Are they safe for consumption or should we throw them out until she gets better?

    Still alive. Not sure she is drinking. I put a little water on her beak with a syringe.
