    Beak Deformity (Underbite and Straight Lower Beak)

    This is my princess Fatima. I was wondering if anyone has experience with deformities such as this. For the most part she can eat fine, but she can’t peck like normal. Kinda makes me laugh and feel sad at the same time.

    Silkie Chick, Parrot Mouth?

    Hello, I bought this little chick a few weeks ago and did not notice it's beak until after I got it home. Any input is welcome. To me, it doesn't look like the bottom beak is short, just that the top beak is super long. Is that even a possibility? I bought it for breeding purposes, so I don't...

    Bottom jaw ajar

    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...

    Overgrown chick beak

    One of my chicks seems to have an overgrown beak. Should I trim it or leave it like it is. The others don't seem to have this, and I'm worried about how well she'll be able to eat like that.

    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...

    Beak Concern

    This is my cute little silkie named Clementine. S/he will be 11 weeks at the end of this week. Since the day I brought this fluff home to the coop I noticed the insanely large beak. As Clementine grows the beak becomes more and more hooked and is now cracked at the tip. My husband wants to just...

    Crooked beak and a watery eye

    We have two pullets that we have had for about 6 weeks now. Both were lethargic when we brought them home. We added electrolytes to their water and oregano to their food. We also adjusted their heat lamp at the time. This seemed to bring their energy and activity level up. Since then the...

    What killed my chick?

    I went out to feed our chicks this morning (we purchased them back in the middle of May) and one of them was dead. She had no wounds that I could see. This particular chick has a deformity of the beak, which we didn't notice when we purchased her, but it was crooked. The top went one direction...
