I would give it a chance at life! If it has a really hard time eating I would cull sometimes you have to think of quality of life, but just to prove it is possible to keep a scissor beak chicken.This is Sizzy she is now one year one months old and is happy and healthy. She can eat by herself...
She drinks a lot and eats a little I put blue kote on the wounds and I take her out of nesting box to poop and I clean up anything in the nesting box/ crate. She does seem to be doing a little better today.
Yes after rexamining her there appears to be lots of bruises and I found a couple spots where it looks like the skin tore when the feathers were being pulled out.
So last night my chicken linda lou was attacked by a fox. There is a lot of feathers missing but she did not get hurt badly there is no teeth puncture wounds the fox just beat the tar out of her! I saw it running away with one of my other chickens so one got eaten and one is traumatized/ in very...
I had a aggressive rooster to and after a year or a little more he calmed down. One of the other things that helped me with that issue was trying to feed him scratch out of my hand. Best of luck.:thumbsup:D
