Sorry, no help here just a question. Where did you get them that 2 of 15 (14%) had odd issues with beaks? Seems strange that you had beak problems with different birds.
My wife lost one of her girls today. She was a leghorn, about 18 months old. She showed signs of illness yesterday: dirty, smelly rear end; droopy, faded crown; weak, slow, hanging head. My wife gave her a bath, trimmed her back feathers then put her in isolation with fresh food and water...
Thanks for the input. Chickens are still spending much of their day inside the coop and still no eggs. It has been very hot here the last few days so I'm sure that has something to with it. I am going to try some frozen fruits and cooling the water.
