    severely cracked beak on chick (pics)

    We just found our 6wk old buff with a severely cracked beak... tried cleaning it with peroxide and water mix, would like to glue a tea bag on it to help mend it but was wondering if it would be better to let it alone? Any help would be appreciated thanks btw she doesn't seem to be in any pain...

    Sun burned neck

    Last October one of our hens injured her neck, the skin was torn away from it, it has since healed but now that it's sunny and she has no feathers I'm afraid it's going to get burned. Any ideas to help prevent sunburn on her neck.
