My poor girl Boomerang has a pretty gnarly beak injury. She’s about 8 months old and has lived a very normal life with her crossed beak. My daughter alerted me that she was injured and I’m not sure how to proceed with helping the poor girl. Any suggestions?
My little Ginny was eating corn off of a big snack cube that my mom put in our run, and she got a small crack on the tip of her beak. Anything I can/should do?
There was a slight dented line about a year ago and it has gotten bigger and now there is grey... hard stuff in her nostrils. Is this always there and we can just see it now. Is this all due to age? She will be 11 this July. No significant injuries to her head. Survived 3 fly strikes in the past...
My poor hen was attacked by a predator and has an injured wing (it is limp and likely broken) and a twisted upper beak (rotated up to the left). We've had problems with possums in the past, and I'm glad I caught her before more harm could be done. There is a puncture I have cleaned up and it...
I'm going to try to answer all the questions asked in the pinned thread so bear with me if any is irrelevant. (tl;dr at the end)
Tim is a gamecock with a smidge of orpington somewhere in there, young maybe a year/year and a half, his spurs are 1.25 inches. I didnt weigh him but he's the same...
Hello all,
yesterday we had five pheasant babies hatch. The first four were strong, healthy, and active. The fifth one had a hard time getting out of his shell because his beak seemed deformed. My father helped him out (I know I know you’re not supposed to do that) but he seemed strong...
I have had many a chicken, but this is a new one on me. I got 40 chicks and they all seemed normal and healthy. Then in about 2 weeks I noticed one of my Americanas bottom jaw was slightly ajar from the other one. I picked her up and moved it around and back under the beak but it just went back...
Hi everyone, I need help.
So last night around 11, I heard my birds squawking so I went and turned on the outside light. Didn't see anything, I hoped the light would scare away anything that might have been there, and I went back to bed. So much for dogs, they didn't even lift their heads...
So I got my first two chickens a week ago, they’re about 10 and 12 weeks old. I noticed today that my silkie has what looks like a chip or scab on her beak. It sort of seems like I can see the bone? This is my first time owning chickens so I’m not sure what this is/how serious it is. I’ve read...
This morning I noticed two of my chickens have broken beaks. Both cracks are at the top of their beaks. Neither one is bleeding. Both are still willing to eat. I don't know if I should try super gluing or if I should just monitor them to make sure they continue to eat and drink. One of the...
My 2 month old Pekin duck woke me up this morning covered in blood. His nail on the end of his beak is almost completely torn off. No vets in the area will see ducks. I’ve rinsed twice today with saline solution. I’m not sure what else to do! He is bleeding quite a bit!
So I have an almost year old Sussex Rooster and this morning he was making a strange noise so my dad went down to check on him and he stopped making the noise. Later on in the day I went down to check on him and noticed his top beak looked like it was shedding but there was some blood..
He...
Right beside the ice rink, that my brother goes to, is a pond. Recently, a duck there produced some ducklings. I did some research and am pretty sure it is a Muscovy. Here's a picture:
As they started to grow older, we noticed that one was much smaller than the others. Upon closer inspection...
I am in desperaate nead of help. I recently found my six month old easter egger pullet with a cracked and bleeding beak. The past week she had been acting very timid of people. I'm not sure if this is at all related to the beak. I think this just happened because I would have had to notice her...
