My hen is having a lot of trouble eating, she has nothing in her crop! I have mixed some yogurt with their gamebird food to make it easier for her to eat but she just pecks at it a then leaves it.
The quick is exposed, and I think this must be very painful for her. Is there anything I can do...

It's very encouraging to hear it will grow back!
I have just mixed some yogurt into their crumbles and I have them on Game bird/ showbird food for extra protein.
Thanks for the advice.
What is the tip of the beak composed of besides keratin, i am assuming, are there nerves fibres etc?

Oh I do hope so!!!
I feel so bad for her she can't pick up the lettuce I put in for them and she loves it. I just mixed some yogurt in with their crumbles hopefully she will be able to enjoy some of that.
Hi one of my BR hens got a fright and must have flown into th wire and broken the tip of her beak off. It is the whole part of the top beck that normally overhangs the bottom part. It is bleeding but very little. She appears not able to eat! She is pecking at things but not able to get them...
