    PLESE HELP!!!! Chickens beak got bit off

    My one barred rock hen is molting right now too. She's got one long tail feather left, and her back is looking very fluffy. I'll see if I can snap a picture of her later today.

    She really is looking so much better! You said another chicken had nipped at her- does that mean she's getting to spend some time outside with the others?

    She definitely does look a little brighter, and her body has healed some of the other open cuts, so that seems like a good sign! Since she is interested in her regular food, I wonder if you could use some warm water to make that into a soupy mash for her to try to eat? Then she'd get water...

    PLESE HELP!!!! Chickens beak got bit off
